    still nothing
    So yesterday I tried the feeding in the tank heat dipping the mouse. nothing. however I have thawed a new mouse and have left it in the tank. I wont try to feed or mess with him until next Sunday. I did noticed that his eye are very cloudy and on the top of his spine is very grey. I think he is about to shed. I wanted to know is excessive yawning a sign of RI? He does not do it often and their is no star gazing or mucous. ugh im I being a crazy reptile mommy? by the way this is my first snake. I have only ever had was breaded dragons

    It's not uncommon for them not to eat when in shed - some do, some don't.

    If he doesn't sit with his mouth held open for long periods of time I also wouldn't worry about yawning either. ;)

    Like dr. del said - probably just fine.

    About half of my snakes at home will eat when in shed, the other half won't. When deep in shed, it's hard for them to see, and likely they feel uncomfortable as well. I wouldn't worry too much. Give your snake a bit of time, and if it sheds, cool, try feeding after that. :)
