Hey people,
My spotted just had a shed about last week and seems to be not interested in food at the moment..
His enclosure is about 30 Degrees, he's active and everything appears normal.. like even to touch he's warm.. so i don't think its the temp
Do they not eat for some time after a shed or something along those lines??
I fed him weekly also

Its breeding time for many snakes. His activeness could be hormones, looking for a mate in which time food is not priority on his mind

That would depend on the size of the snake , i have 4 antareisia all the same age and one is twice the size of the smallest ........
