    Hi Pokertalk, i guess its only bout 3 or so months. Frozen mice. I read that u should pull off the old skin so ive done that a few times. But no major shedding yet. Althought his eyes are a little yellow or brown. I have a heat mat which i bought with him. Its grown 2 inchs tho.

    its normal for them to refuse food if they are a bit too cold as they will depend on the rite temp for digestion i have had snake refuse to eat for 3 months so dont worry. just offer him more in a couple of days , if your keeping your pinkie mice frozen the just defrost one and puncher the skin just to shed a bit of blood to get his sences going and if he refuses just take a note of the date in a journal. they are a hardy snake so dont worry just make sure he has plenty of misting and fresh water
