Feeding refusal question

[unhip_crayon]

How long should I wait to attempt a second feed after refusal? I normally feed on a weekly basis, should I wait till next week or just a few days?

I would wait until next week.

I think I know why hes refusing...looks like he might be shedding, what do you think?

I don't like the spot he's in, pressed between the glass and the rock cave. Its cold so I've got a night(moon) lamp slightly pressed against the glass on a dimmer, barely producing heat. The glass is 75°, Im thinking about bringing it down to 72°

I fixed his other hide so that its tighter but I don't think he's discovered it yet and I don't want to move him as he looks to be shedding

Ya hes deff in shed look at the eyes! Some snakes will eat when in shed some wont. Either way id say keep him on the normal feeding schedule and just feed him next week, if he/she is out of shed that is.

Awesome thanks for the verification.

And I changed my mind about the lamp...afraid I might cook him. Im just gonna wrap a blanket around the tank
