HELP What do you do if your snakes scales are dry and rough and he wont eat. Its been three months since hes eaten... Is he dying?

I'd think your snake is trying to shed. When snakes shed their eyes turn a cloudy blue and they don't eat. You should place a rock or stick in their to help it shed. I'm pretty sure your snake is dead if it hasn't eaten in three months.
