haha, thats kinda funny i just got over that problem, sorry i didnt mean to laugh.

dont worry about it that much, mine went off feed for almost 3 weeks. try earth worms.

I always trying to feed him rosyies he ate one the first time and then never again then, i tried a fat head minow from a bait shop and he ate it, now he is eating rosyies again. they might want a verity in their diet so try the earth worms. i wouldnt worry all that much right now

they can be getting ready to shed, most water snakes shed when they are first born, 1st month after, second month, then every 2 months....my ribbons wont eat even if their eyes dont cloud for a few days.

good luck keep us posted
