Shedding is an instinct. All reptiles that need to shed do so, it has nothing to do with intelligence. Your snake needs to feed at least once a week. His size will dictate what size mouse/rat to feed him. Depending on the appetite he may take more than one prey item at a feeding.If you do soak him make sure the water is not too warm as their body temp, is different than ours.
