And we're not actually seeing this snake- she might simply be over-fed? (unintentionally), OR getting old, or other health issue for which a vet check is in order.
My corn snakes are (& always have been) easy to feed. The exception would be when they get "up in years", their metabolism slows down- so knowing the age would really help here. How often does she shed? That too is a clue to age. The oldest snake I ever had shed every year & a half, just for comparison, but I've had snakes in their mid-20's that still shed about every 6 months. I have a hunch this snake is being over-fed for her age, but you need to make sure (rule out illness & being in shed).
Just because she shed a month ago doesn't mean she's NOT in shed now: FYI, injuries and some illnesses also make a snake shed more frequently- that's the way their body attempts to heal.
