So if you saw my post about my new dumerils manson he looked healthy. Three days after I got him i fed him a mouse[apparently he isn't taking rats] And he ate right off the tongs. So one week later I got him a small rat and he didn't take. So today I tried to feed him his normal mice and he smelled it a lot but the he backed up and curled up. This was another week later. any suggestions

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe he wasn't feeling up to eating. I'd just keep offering mouse-scented rats every 7-10 days. Unless anything else is going on, he'll eventually eat for ya :) On that note, maybe he's going into shed...?

He actually shed a few days a go maybe that's why

A lot of snakes won't eat when they're in a moult. I never even bother trying to feed any of mine when I see they're starting the process, they just aren't interested.
