First post, and it's a Feeding Question

[sukebanangie]

Hello, and thank you for replying! My computer crashed with the upgrade, so I've been gone for a while. So, an update: Sir Hiss still hasn't ate on his own, however, after his last assisted feeding, he DID poop and he has started a shed. The shed, sadly, has been a bad one, probably because of his food issues. His eyes are back to being their normal color, so the caps did come off. Right now, we have him soaking in luke warm water. We're following this post: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...hed-No-problem

• How old is he? What does he weigh? Had he been eating for the breeder at all? Are you offering FT or live?
  
  No idea on his age, like I said, from what we're assuming, he was sold way before he should have been.
  Unsure about the weight, we haven't weighed him since the last feeding due to 48 hrs after feeding non-handling time plus 24 hrs beginning of shed non-handling time
  No idea if he ate for the breeder. I know the employee who was taking care of him said he wouldn't eat for her.
  We're offering FT.
  
  We're also following pretty much everything listed here. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ius)-Caresheet It's a great source of information, and what we've been following since we adopted him.
  
  Anyway, like I said, right now, he's finishing his shed and we have him soaking. He isn't acting weak, but is still very skinny and his skin is very loose. He resembles a deflated tire. If he doesn't eat once this shed is completely done, what should our next step be? Do we continue assisted feeding? He'll constrict his prey, but doesn't seem to know what to do afterwards.
