BP hasn't shed yet

[sharpe]

I would not be concerned about his lack of shed.

I would be concerned about his diet. From my own experience and everything I have read, newly hatched ball pythons should be fed hopper mice from day one.

OK, I'll move up and try those. If the pinkies are too small though, would that mean that he'd want to eat more often? Around once every 7 days is as often as he will eat.
