    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. :taz:

    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...
