I've had my Kingsnake Loki since January. I'm not certain on his age just that the vet I took him to when I first got him said he thought he was somewhere in the 4 month range. So maybe he's around 8 or 9 months now. I've never had issues with him eating, he has always been a good eater, but Friday when I tried to feed him, he simply looked at the mouse and tried getting out of his container. I thought perhaps he was just not hungry, although it had been a week since he ate last, so I attempted to feed him again Sunday and today but he just tries to get out of the container. I noticed he's got this odd twitch, kind of like his body is jerking randomly. He's not had any accidents or falls so I'm not sure if I should attempt a trip to the vet or wait it out and see if he decides to eat. He's my first snake, so I'm pretty vanilla and only know what I've read in books or found on-line.



Any suggestions would great! Thank you!
