Killed it ..but won't eat it

[phyre_st0rm]

I just fed my snake his mouse, which he killed....but he went back into his hiding spot after killing it. he didn't eat it....that is weird. it is shed time..so does that have anything to do with it? should i take the mouse out or keep it in there incase he decides to munch?

[pimp_n_python]

i'd say keep it in there for a little while
I don't think he'll eat it because its shedding but its worth a try

next time just don't even bother feeding it until its done its shed cycle
missing one feeding won't hurt your snake at all

yep i know it won't hurt him, but i had the mouse before i saw his eyes were cloudy.

Bulemic snakes? Hmmm

I had that happen once, but I danced it in front of his face and he took it again and ate it.

[phyre_st0rm]

Well, i left it in the cage and went to work..when i came back, it was gone...so yay..he ate it.

sweet!
I hate it when I thaw a mouse and no one will eat it
the mouse's life was wasted for no reason

He was just playing with his food before eating it.
