    corn doesn't eat
    Hi.

    My baby corn(3-4 month) isn't eating since 3 weeks now,whenever i try to give him a pinkie he doesn't eat it.
    I give him about 1 hour to eat it before i take it away.
    I feed live and in a seperate container.
    He was a good eater before that.

    What can i do?

    bad shed or bad tank conditions? my two guesses lol. but don't worry too much (for now) as snakes can go a longgg time without food.

    Hi,

    No problems with the shed - eyecaps etc come off o.k?

    What are the temps at the moment and have there been any changes lately?

    Hi,

    Do you mean you have two snakes in the same tank?

    What sizes and sexes are they?

    2 corn snakes in a 100 gal tank :O.The poor thing is probably freaked out by all the extra open space.Its a baby try placing it in a 10gal with a couple hides then try to feed it after 5 days of not bothering it.Only to change the water bowl.If this fails let us know and we can help you from there :gj:
