    That may explain it

    Hello everyone, I have been reporting that Thor has been off feed since I got him on the 21st of Jan. I had tried again on Wed. of this week with no luck. I haven't had him out of his viv in 10 days or more. Well, to my surprise I find a full shed in my viv this morning, with eyecaps and maybe only just the last inch of his tail missing but that may be sitting in the viv. But I figure I should get him out to check if he did retain any shed but this may at least explain some of his "off feed" behaviors.

    Congrats on the shed. Definitely check the tip of his tail for retained shed. I have heard of snakes losing the tip of their tail because several layers of retained shed cut off the blood supply...

    Yeah, I'll get him out and check... I feel silly for not knowing he was in blue/shed but then again, I've left him alone for over a week so I guess I wouldn't have noticed it as well as I should have. Luckily, his humidity stays at about 65-70% anyway...
