I'm no expert- just guessing really. Maybe the 2 mice a week was more than she needed and now she's limiting herself more on what she eats to compensate for that? Corns aren't quite as robust as balls so it always seems to me like they're underweight even if they're exactly where they should be. Like I said... just guessing. Or she could've just been in a bad mood. Or the husbandry may be off? Hopefully someone comes along with more knowledge to help you out! lol

Hi,

Has she been trying to breed them? Come to think of it what sex is the 2nd corn.

A corn snake doesn't need to be eating two mice. One adult mouse once a week is plenty for them.
