When you get a new snake, how long does it normally take before they'll accept food? I have a banded cal king(first snake), 14", male. He ate the day I got him, which was about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I offered him a live pinky this past monday, exactly one week after I got him, and he refused it. Not even any interest in it. The other day, his eyes looked opaque, so I thought maybe he is shedding, but today his eyes look clear. I'm not sure what's wrong. Please advise.
