Hello all, am brand new to reptile keeping and have my first snake! He's a stimson's, about 12 weeks old give or take, which actually brings me to a question.
The little dude is about ready for his shed, and has been getting darker but has not shown any signs of actually starting to process other than that. It's a little stressful as he's refusing to eat and has been outright rejecting food of two different sizes for about 5 weeks now, and I'm getting to the point of being rather worried! He wasn't a fantastic eater to begin with and had a habit of eating his meals backwards, but even trying a larger-sized mouse than pinkie's he's still not eating but is still highly active.
Should I be concerned? Or is this just normal baby snake behaviour? Google is giving me mixed results!
