Not sure how to put this so bare with me. Ever since I got this milk Snoop has been really weird. The first thing Ive noticed is that hes not eating. I put it down to giving him two largish mice last week, but after the refusal of a third mouse its started to worry me a bit as hes never really refused a meal unless when hes started to shed. Could the arrival of this new snake be stressing him out? If so what should I do to help him? Thanks any advice would be great.

1 missed feed is nothing to worry about yet. As long as he looks healthy I wouldnt worry. You say you gave him 2 mice in a week, was that both at once or a few days apart?

Could he be going in to shed again? Could it be down to the change in weather? Sylar went completely off his food this time last year.

I gave him two mice at once, I wanted to see if he could or would eat them, he doesnt look like hes going into shed, Im leaning towards the change in the seasons, I will give it a week or two and then try again, the little fella on the other hand has got a cracking appetite. I offered him another tiny pinky to which he decided to eat arse first lol
