I am worried about my several month old snow corn. He started out underweight and a problem feeder, but after 3 months or so I got him on a schedule of two pinks a week. After the first three months he refused food for 10 days and then shed. Now, one month later (and it was a month of pretty aggressive feeding) he is refusing food again. It has been 17 days since he ate and I am not sure if it is because he is preparing to shed or not. At around day 15, i thought his eyes were somewhat cloudy, but there was no drastic difference. They now appear somewhat more normal. He doesnt look like he's really lost weight, but I am concerned. Anyone else have an experience like this?

Just in shed... or anorexic snake?

Not to worry. Your snake will shed soon. And I suspect that since it recently had a month of pretty heavy feeding, it will soon be feeding well again.
The eyes will cloud over and then clear up befor a shed. By next weekend, I bet it has both shed AND eaten. Good luck.
