Thanks very much trolligans. We've been feeding him about 5-6 pinkies per week, he's now probably 16-18 inches long and a fair bit thicker than he was when we got him. The last few days he has been pretty inactive, sleeping under the aspen bedding on the cool side of his tank, so we think perhaps he is getting ready to shed. He is still very amenable to being picked up and handled, though I've avoided pestering him too much if he's uncomfortable in his skin.
After he has shed, should he be offered extra, or more frequent food? I have been told snakes often won't eat during their shed, but I want to be sure that he has as much as he needs before and after.
