Over the past couple days i have noticed that Khan is not moving around much. The first week i had him he was always moving around atleast at night anyway. I gave him his first feed here with me and didnt see much of him for a couple days and assumed this was because of the feed.

I went to take him out on monday and he tryed to bite me but i noticed his eyes were blue and put it down to shedding but he hasnt moved ( not when ive been looking anyway ) for a couple days is this because he is shedding or should i be getting worried ?

Na that is fine, snakes generally wont move wen they are in shed as they cannot see very well! After he has shed not only will he be very shiny but also just as active as normal!

If his eyes were blue then he may not move much until after he has shed, its nothing to worry about

as above and don't handle him till he's shed as his eyesight is greatly reduced which could make him nervous and unpredictable
