Sid has just had her first shed! Just came back from a day out and noticed she was very active and wriggling about quite a bit. I then looked in a couple of minutes later and noticed the skin behind her and just caught her tail coming out of the end. It all came off in one piece which was nice. Should I wait before handling her?

I do, I find mine are a bit sensitive, when freshly shed. I leave them alone, then feed next day, as I don't feed them in blue, so by the time they've shed, they're more than ready to be fed.

No, will be fine. Congrats, glad shed went so well

Actually, just noticed other post as wasnt there when i was replying, will be best to judge for yourself, each snake is different, you wont do any damage either way. Like some will eat when blue, others wont. Try handling, and see how he reacts
