Hey my sience class king snake will not eat it does look like it is going to shed cause its skin is cloudy but it will not eat can yall give me all the info for a king snake plz
Are it's eyes cloudy? When was it's last shed? How old is it? When did it last feed? Remeber snakes can go a month or more without food and be perfectly fine. I have heard that kings like to go into a hibernation over the winter occasionally if the temps go down, but that probably isn't the case.
Im not sure how old he is he is just a nice snake an is allways under his rock my teacher got him an his nice nice tank for free cause a dug dealer forgot him cause the did tried to leave the city im not sure i think he sheds like every 3 weeks an she got him 10 days before school started which was aug 23 wat do they it
well like he looks kinda cloudy under is skin so it's about time an he sheds like every 3 weeks the lady said
He won't eat when he is shedding. And is probably the reason he is hiding. They don't like being bothered at this time. Leave him alone until he is done and he'll be happier for it.
Your snake is definitely shedding. You may want to increase the humidity in his cage a bit over the next week until he sheds. Or take a smaller plastic container, cut a hole in it so he can get in and out, then add bedding, water, and a rock (so he can scrape off his shed). You are basically making a miniature sauna. Leave this in the cage until he sheds. My cal king always has a hard time shedding if I don't do this. -Imp
It definently won't eat if its shedding, my king sheds once a month, just about and its six years old.
