He shed for the first time with me, so hopefully he will take some of the worms or salmon i chopped up for him. I'm a bit confused becuse you need foood to get you big and hen when you get big you shed. He didn't eat anything with me but he shed. So i really do hope he eats. I yet to try and give him guppies.
I hear they work. Other than that he is very active, and handelable, he doesn't musk or bite anymore. He is currently swimming in his water bowl, like always. I'm going to upload a few pictures in a a little bit.

How long have you had him? Sorry I haven't read your other posts. If you hadn't had him very long, one reason he might not eat is because he was going to shed. Some snakes will eat during a shed but some won't.

Don't worry about it. Eating or not the snake is growing and will shed. Not eating just means you don't shed as often.
