as for the reason the snake was off feed in summer: dereck was busy with an 11 month old son and snakes can go up to a year without food so its ok to just not feed him even th the snakes a great feeder and there was rats in the freezer.



wouldnt we all do the same? i know from my personal experience that when my life gets busy i just stop eating for weeks so i can focus on more important things like drugs!



the snake was getting thin but now that the rat pup has been digested "pedro" is much more lively and energetic. i just can wait for him to get the rest of his shed off. i got him when he was starting to shed, i have 75% of it off but its thin and in about 1000 pieces. is it possible that the lack of food has an effect on the thickness of the shed too?



the shed is the reason for the small meals. i would just wait but i just felt so bad and wanted him to get some nutrition and energy. ill atempt pics when he puts on some wieght.



thanks for all the replies,
