I recently found a Mole Kingsnake, i've had him for 4weeks. He has eaten(frozen pinkies) 2 times about a week or so apart when I first got him. He has recently shead and hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks. Is this normal? He is young, about 10".

Being that he's wild caught and eating pinks, you are way ahead of the game. It's probably still on nature's clock, and shutting down for the winter. I would give it a couple of weeks at normal temps and then start cooling it down until the middle of Feb.,
at which time you can reverse the process. I bet it will eat like a champ next spring. What local is it from? You should post pictures when you get a chance.

He's eating fine now. He won't eat them if they not warm enough, thats for sure.
