Corn Snake Feeding Problem (GIZMO)

[FrankieMc]

Hey all ive got a problem with my corn snake had him about 2 and half year and never had a problem taking food. From pinkies to medium and large thawed mice. but last month he shed a perfect a full shed as always but after shedding hes allways took food straight after it but hasn't took it this was last month i left it a few days after he shed to try again but didnt take .
I then left it a week just to see if he takes (BUT DIDNT :'/) Ive then tried to leave it longer just to see if he was being fussy but saturday when he didnt take it i got more worried , his mice are allways fully thawed ive even tried to brain it but hes not intrested hes very active than he normally is this past month as if hes looking for food but isnt intrested in it *HE HAS FRESH WATER EVERYDAY* No mites to suggest any problem and no other signs of helth issues his substrate is normally wood chipping but decided to try some news paper < this isnt a cause of change as changed while he wasnt eating . climate is the right temprature

HELP..............

Exactly how long has the snake gone without eating? I would recommend getting it checked out by a vet.

I think neally close to a month hes drinking fine just not eating as we speak hes sniffing around the tank as if its looking for food but nothing happens

Snakes can go a very long time without eating and be perfectly fine. As long as he is not losing weight or showing any symptoms of illness I wouldn't worry. Wait two weeks before you try again, try at night, with the lights out and make sure the rodent is really warm.

Do us readers a favor and write in better grammar, please.
I think it's worth asking if he ever experienced a (be it accidental) temperature drop...

He's most likely looking for a mate. It's that time of year. Even if you didn't intentionally butmate him, there's a good chance that natural seasonal temp fluctuation in your house could have caused him to cycle. It isn't uncommon at all for males to refuse food during the breeding season. Just keep trying every 1-2 weeks, and don't stress unless you see him dropping weight.

Is it a male? My male can get very funny about eating when he's more into breeding and once went 2 months without eating. Just watch his weight and activity level.

That's what I was suggestion. He, if it is a he, is most likely looking for a mate. Everything the OP described sounds like a breeding male.
