First, thanks to everyone who answered my question about the dry skin. I soaked the snake as advised and now he is begining to shed.

I have another question for everyone though...

My King has not eaten in about 4 weeks now. Before now he has eaten about every week to week and a half with no problem at all. Could this be due to the winter season? I know that some snakes loose their appetite at times. How long should I let this go on without being concerned?

Any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks!

This time of year (Oct-March) colubrids have a tendency to want to brumate irregardless of temps. Keep the snake cool and resume feeding in the spring.

when you say to keep the snake cool. What temp range are you talking about? thanks for the info

This kind of question gets asked all the time. See the post right below yours.
