    Still not eating/shedding?

    My 3 month old ball python has eaten fine in the past. But he didn't eat last Friday and he didn't eat yesterday. I did the same thing I always do, I feed him at night and I turn off all the lights. Then I let the hopper thaw out for 20 minutes before warming it with a hair dryer for a few minutes. I offered him two last Friday at the same time. He didn't take either of them. Then yesterday, I offered them both one at a time and he still didn't eat them.
    I know he's still trying to shed, so I'm assuming that's what's going on. But it's taking him a long time for him to even start. Even if the humidity has been between 70-80%, he still hasn't shed. But I don't know what else could be keeping him from eating.
    Should I still try feeding him next Friday? What else could keep him from eating? Also, does it really take this long for him to shed?

    Anything helps
