Snakes usually go 'off their food' during the shedding process, but they may still feed - it depends in the individual. The accepted procedure is to deny them food until they cast off their old skin - when they'll be more than ready for a feed. That technique has worked for me over the 25-plus years I've been keeping reptiles.
The snake is in shed. When it sheds in skin, It should return to eating.
snake sheds its skin - no apostrophe needed. With respect to the word "it", its represents possessive form of the word and it's is a contraction of "it is". The incorrect use of the either is a common mistake.
I think your friend is weird. Did she ask to feed the poor snake this food? Next time be more careful. Take the snake to the vet and get it checked out. Feed the snake insects next time. Oh, and friend- please be aware of what you feed little animals.
A garter snake periodically sheds its entire skin in a process called ecdysis. This shedding allows the snake to grow, removes parasites, and helps to repair damaged skin.
A snake sheds its skin, because it allows the snake to grow.
A snake???
Wait until it sheds twice: this means that its body is fully funtioning and is used to its new home.
only its skin if it sheds and the snake is dead but not when it is alive...
No it doesn't mean evil. The snake in China actually means rebirth because the snake sheds it's skin.
No, it grows a new segment to its rattle each time it sheds.
yea after it sheds it grows new skin.
Very possible! If you feed your snake live mice. I would suggest feeding them dead and just freeze them, I hope the little guy is ok :D Hope this helps!
