hi to all

I have a eight month old royal python. usually he is a great feeder but this past week he has not taken his mouse at all. he is going through a bit of a long shed at the minute and seems a bit grumpy could this be the reason for him being off his food and is there anything i could do to help him. please any advice appreciated

I certainly wouldn't worry about it.. Cool But probably explains the lack of appetite,some snakes will take food during this period others won't...
