i don't think its mites, because ive never seen signs of them, and he just started this when i started him on 2 hoppers, instead of one large fuzzy, so i bet the stressed skin thing is right.
He was in the water for 48 hours after eating, but now has come out and done a huge bit of business in the corner, plastered to the glass lol

If you don't think he can take 2 hoppers at once, try one hopper every 3-4 days instead . Smaller meals are digested more efficiently and you may get a bit more growth out of him if you try that.

hey thanks guys...i dont think you saw my update post, but hes on adults now and doing fine he was a pet shop snake, when i bought him he was 8 months old and about the size of a 1 or 2 month old hatchling, plus he went off feed a few months, so hes just over 2 feet, but i think he will shoot up now that hes on one adult/week

next time you buy some food, get some rat fuzzies (bout 20-30 g)
as thi will increase his vitamin intake cosiderably, you could also give a supplement for a short period as this really seemed to help my cali to start shedding every month. And its been 3 months since I last said that, and he STILL hasnt missed a shed. Hes shed 7-8 times since i started feeding rats,hampsters and chicks  give it a go and watch him grow
How many sheds has he had since you started this thread?

its been two sheds for sure, possibly 3, coulda shed way back when i first posted. I am planning on using the calcium supplement i have that i use for my crestie. The Bone Aid stuff by trex. . I will also do the rat pup idea, i will be buying rats soon since i am getting an IJCP so i will start the king on rats as well, so i only have to buy one food type. thanks for the suggestions

its no extra hassel, picking up rats and mice from a shop.
My thinking was that by feeding both you give a wider range of vitamins
