Hi all, I'm pretty sure its due to her looking like she's going to shed but thought id check.
Last night Lola wasn't interested in her mouse, never had a problem before. She hardly looked/sniffed it even though we left her in her feeding tub with it for about 10 minutes while I cleaned the faun. She's looking very dusty and milky eyes, also very grumpy.
Am I right this is all down to the impending shed? Should we leave her alone till she's shed, then try again?

| yeah she sound like she's gonna shed. mine was like this, i offered her food 2 nights in a row and nothing. i didnt even see blue eyes. but she went ahead and shed. lightly spray faun with water to help her get her skin of and she should be looking and feeding like new in no time. although i do have to say 10 mins isnt that long, even though i doubt she would have taken it you didnt give her much of a chance :/ |

Thanks! Well it was probably longer as i gave it a full clean along with the caves and plants, then set it up again. Usually she she strikes and takes it immediately as soon as she gets a hint of mouse.
Will leave her be until she's shed.

Yup thats probably best it wont hurt her to miss a feed or delay it by a few days some of my snakes will eat when in blue others wont however after a regurge incident with one of the hatchlings i no longer offer mine food if they are in blue
