What is it exactly that you're worried about? Him eating, or him hiding?

im a little worried just because we had a recent death of a headge hog maybe just a little paranoid.

they take some time to digest their food. What exactly are u woried about? Look inside his hide and if he is in shed, raise the humidity appropriately.

i am little puzzled.how often do they shed.

[smeagel]

depends on the size of the snake. My ball pythons hide 90% of the time. It's just the way they are. No need to worry at all.

thanks smeagel and all.relief is easy to come bye thankx.

Yeah, these are NOCTURNAL, BURROWING snakes. If its not hiding, then that's when you might have a problem. Snakes hide. Especially nocturnal ones that live underground.

Yup, mine did the same thing

I fed her and she disappeared for 2-3 weeks, than the day she came out I find poop and a shed in her hide

had his head out of his hide early this morning and his eyes were very cloudy so he is shedding probably will overnight thanks to all.

For what it's worth...

If his eyes were cloudy, he's got a few days until he actually sheds. Mine usually sheds a few days after the eyes clear up.
