I am a college student and I have late nights so I know he even stays their at night.
Also his color seems to not be as pale as it was before, so he should finish his shed soon? How is he going to do that in that little bamboo xD

I guess he is going to live his whole baby snake life in that bamboo, here is a video:

Yeah they won't come out while in shed. Very vulnerable time for Reptiles.

Only if I could speak snake and tell him it's all going to be okay,
It was funny when he started eating it, because all of sudden the mouse starting to get moved into the bamboo. lol
The mouse was already dead.

Re: Milk Snake Not Shedding

He seems like a young snake that's in shed and still getting used to his environment. Be patient and gentle with him and he should settle down. It took my snakes about 2-3 months before they became comfortable with me. As he grows he won't be so shy either. Keep him warm and fed and he'll be fine in no time.

Good to know, I am just so eager to start handling him.
Thanks for the heads up

Jungle Mix, but the bad thing is how it's difficult to spot poop. lol.
I am replacing it with normal aspen soon, for that reason and so it's easier for him to burrow himself.
