Food Refusal During Shed

[drezden]

I know food refusal during shed is common, but is it usually only when they are in blue? He has a pink belly right now so I know he's starting to shed and he has refused the last 2 weeks of meals. Could it be because he is about to start the shed process?

Could be, some are weird about it. My BEL will not eat in shed or the meal after.

I don't think the shed has anything to do with it refusing 2 meals prior to going into shed...a lot of snakes won't eat at all for the duration of a shed though.
