I've had my Brooks Kingsnake for over a year now and his is over 3 feet long. About 8 or so weeks ago he was bitten by a mouse on the nose and has become timid during feeding. Although this happened, he would still feed regularly on live adult mice. Then he had mites which he got from a pet store (long story) about two weeks after he was bitten and I treated him in a Betadine bath followed by Mineral Oil on his nose and eyes.

2-3 weeks/feedings went by with no problems until it was time for him to shed. About two weeks went by before he had shed and I felt it was time to feed him in which case he constantly turns down food. I have tried frozen/thawed mice and rat fuzzies and of course adult mice.

I noticed his neck looks irregular and figured it might be something more than stress related.
