Feeding Issues

My BP went through a shed almost a week ago and during this he skipped his meal. Today is his normal feeding day and he is not showing any interest in eating. The last time I fed him was two Mondays ago and it was an adult brown mouse. The past couple of times I have tried to feed him the mice were white.

I did see a posting about this, but I am not sure if it applies to my situation or if snakes tend to not eat after a shed for a significant amount of time. Better yet am supposed to hold off on feeding after a shed?

Go ahead and offer food.

I have one finicky eater that likes a one - two day break after a shed cycle. Others will eat whilst in shed. Hope that helps.

He's only skipped two meals and the meal he ate before that was huge, So maybe it's not that big a deal. I'll just try again next week.

On the subject of colors, I have read that snakes identify their food by color, scent, warmth and a couple other things. Do you think next week I should go back to the brown color mice?
