Hello, I have a adolescent Western Milksnake who I named Whyuld who hasn't eaten in the passed 6 days. When I first found him on Tuesday (his feeding day) he was a very dark brown, had a gray tone, and hazed eyes. So I decided, on Saturday, I will clean his cage. When I set him into a separate container, his colors began to appear more brighter and the color of his eyes where showing. With a little glimpse of hope, I tried feeding him another pinkie. Of course, he didn't eat it. Now that his cage is clean, his colors are brighter, you can see his eyes, and plus he is more active. But he still refuses to eat his pinkie. Is there a trick I can get to help with this situation?
Since I am an amateur when it comes to snakes, I also had a second thought. "Maybe he is at his shedding period?" But I don't think that would effect his eating habits. Since it's been about 6 days now, he hasn't shed, I'm starting to think that wasn't the issue. Can anyone help me? I'd like to get some food in him to stop my worries.
