He will not eat. He is just trying to shed.

Any idea how long since his last meal? You may want to give him some supplement, there is something here in the UK but I don't know the name of the American equivalent...

I have no idea when he last ate, actually. I have had him for about two weeks, so im guessing about three weeks. What is the UK supplement called? I should be able to find the American version if I know what it is.

I'll open your link in a moment. The UK product goes by the name Reptoboost.

I don't know this product so I can't comment on it, best that someone who's familiar gives you feedback on this. The product I was talking about is for snakes who haven't eaten and need the boost. They can also be bathed in it.

My camera is broken which is why I haven't gotten any pictures up. I will see if my brother will let me use his though. He is looking pretty good, but his scales are very dull, not shiny. I think that once he does a full skin shed without my aid he should get shiny again.
