I brought my baby king back cuz it didnt eat and have a great adult in return of which i posted pics earlier and i have it for around 4 weeks now. It shed on mondag in 2 pieces bla bla bla still no interrest in food. no live no dead no brown mice no white mice and no opening the mouse head.
If the live mouse is in the tank the mouse stand 1 inch before him and they both look at eachother and the snake turns his head the other way and ignores him. And then the mouse goes in the corner and the snake starts looking at me with a look in his eyes saying "get that dirty animal out of my tank".

It just shed on Monday and you've tried all that stuff already? Just leave him alone for another week, he's on a different schedule than you, and he's shown you that he'll eat when he's good and ready.
