California King Question

22 14:59:30

Question
My Cal King won't eat.  I caught him at work a week ago so he was born in the desert in Las Vegas.  His eyes are clouding and his color fading.  Is he fixing to shed or is he dying?  I have been trying to feed him thawed pinkies.

Thanks,
J

Answer
Hey Jeff,

lol no he is just shedding eyes will get cloudy with a bluish grey tint and he will not eat during this time.if you can give him a bowl of water big enough for him to soak in.kings wild kings will tame down very quickly for you as well but i would feed live food for now as he was wild caught. let me know if you plan to keep him/her and i will send you a set up and care sheet if you need it.

hope this was helpful.
