Wiggles, the Children's Python

What's up with him not eating for 6 weeks? In shed?

Partially. I was experimenting with a random feeding schedule in an attempt to better replicate conditions in the wild. As happens when things are random, two feeding fell a week apart and this just so happened to be a week he was in shed. Now, you'd think, after missing the two previous feedings, that I'd have no trouble feeding him the next time around. No dice. He wasn't having it. He did eat last night so his brief fast is over.

One of the reasons I experimented with the random feeding schedule is that he's not an enthusiastic feeder. It's probably the reptilinks. Either the scent doesn't provoke a strong feeding response, or perhaps the larger links I switched to last year are too much. I'll probably switch back to the smaller links with my next order.
