Sorry for mentioning this again, one of my 2 Naja Nivea's ate a small mouse yesterday... but the other one looks a little thin and has slight wrinkling.
It is about 1 month old, under 50cm long and ate about 2 weeks ago. How long can a baby snake go without eating? should I get worried?

I was once told you only worry when they start losing weight, so maybe you should invest in a gram scale. I have a male albino naja kaouthia that hasnt eaten since late march, his weight is still nice, and hes active.
As far as the wrinkling, could it be dehydration? If thats the case its probably not major because the other one doesnt have it, but maybe you should try upping the humidity slightly.
Again as far as the eating, im not having good luck either, but i think i gave you a few suggestions if he doesnt eat in the last response i gave you, if not id be glad to attempt to help again.

Two weeks is about right for juvy's, it should be fine. Make sure you have plenty of water and I would mist them as well.
