Feeding while in "shed"
The only reason not to feed a snake "in shed" (cloudy/bluish eyes, not yet cleared) is if they don't want to eat it, right? If they will eat, that's okay, right?

Corn snake companion
I got 2 corn snake from store that grew up together since they were approx 8” long. After 5 years together one snake dies of a prolapse and the other is doing fine. Is it ok to reintroduce another adult corn snake in same tank since they are considered communal? If so how should this be done?

California Snake in NY?
On June 20, 2020 we saw this snake in Boutwell Hill State Forest, Cherry Creek, NY. It looks like a 2-striped garter snake, but our internet search says that the range of the 2-striped garter snake (Thamnophis Hammondii) is Southern California. Can this be right?
