    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?

    Re: corn doesn't eat

    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.

    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?

    Re: corn doesn't eat

    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 .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
