week and a half is not long enough to be worried about, depending of course on what kind of snake it is. Could be approaching a shed. Could be the shorter days and cooler weather. I wouldn't worry just yet.

ok...he hasnt shed yet in the 2 months i've had it.....which might be bad......i didnt know if i was supposed to be worried about the shange in eating habits

First what kind of snake is he?

Since he is a baby snake and has not shedded in 2 months, that is the most likley reason for him to cease eating.

A shed coming up is definitely the most likely reason for a baby snake to stop feeding. Let him go for another 5-7 days before offering again and most likely he will shed in that time period and then be anxious to feed again after that.

best of luck,

Sounds right, I just got my first pueblan this year, and they don't seem to eat during shedding like my baby corns, kings and ball python do:)

My male Pueblan just ate for me while in pure blue three days ago:) I guess hes just special :P *First time any of my pueblans ate while in shed though lol*

I guess he is special :)
