    If u tried already and he didn't eat it may be because of that. Just wait for him to shed and try again after

    My Pied girl did the same thing to my I reoffered it twice and she would constrict but not eat. Once she was done with shed she was back to her normal piggie self SO I would say dont offer again until yours is done shedding

    i would agree. remember they can't see real well when they r shedding so they might just feel intimidated. I mean i would if i was temporarily blind and has someone swinging something in my face. on the other hand I've had many of my reptiles try anyways. i definitely wouldn't suggest live during a shed. they tend to miss a lot hahah if i were u i would try again after the shed let us now how it goes

    Definately wait till after shed. You don't want to stress him out. And he will be fine waiting to eat. Then he can shed in peace, and be nice, shiny and hungry when he's done.
