Help please (feeding/shed)
Hi. First of i'm sorry if there is a similar topic about both things that i want to know, i searched for it some time..but didn't get the info i needed, so i decided 2 write.
Anyway like 2 months ago i got my first BP (yes i'm newbie in snake petting), he was a baby (previous owner said he has 2 weeks). So he never ate at him yet. When i got him home i though he'll shed, cause of his eyes (they were alittle cloudly imo) but he didn't shed....so i figured he maybe did it be4 i bought him. So now i have him for like 1-2 months and he still didn't shed at my place. And my normal temperatures r fine from what i read on web, and humidity is in 50-60 range also. Only problem is because in my country weather is kinda sneaky and sometimes it gets realy hot, and next day it can be cold already, so temperatures can raise/drop for 2-4 degrees C, but they r stil lin range (example: atm is cold day, so he has like 88-90 degrees F (around 29-30 degrees C ) and somedays when it's hot he has 95 F or about (32 degrees C)). And humidty isn't really stable either today it's 50% which i know is low, but it's hard 2 raise it :/ and usually it is 50-60 which is fine i guess. About his terrarium: he has few branches, 3 hides, water bowl, day lightining, substrate. (and yh ik he'd need some plants in it, but since i don't want him 2 be stressed i didn't put them in yet, cause he has problems eating..so i want him 2 eat be4 i change anything). Anyway i hope i described enough so u can answer me those 2 questions:
a) why didn't he shed yet? (is it cause he didn't ate allmost anything?)
b) why doesn't he eat? (i doubt he is sick..i checked for any signs i found on web)
Ohh and i feed him pinky mice cause owner said he eats those, but later i saw i'd need 2 feed him pinky rats?..well i tryed pinky mice few times, he didn't want 2 eat, so i assist feed him after 1 month of not eating (and i tryed multiple ways to make him feed, exept live (cause i couldn't find any in any nearly city :S ). So now allmost another month of not eating passed and he is very skinny..i mean VERY imo...Should i assist feed him another pinky mice, or can i try with a small mice? (it's like between fuzzy and normal mice..i can weight it if u guys need to know how big that mice is)..and ik i should feed him as big as his fattest part is, but he is anorexic so idk how big mice he can take atm :/, would small mice be 2 fat for him?
Thanks all of u who helped
