This is the time of the year when they are coming out of hibernation/brumation & getting ready to mate. My female corn hasn't eaten for two months now & is just starting to really move around & look for her mate. (He's in another cage) She has refused food so far, but I know that with her, it's only a matter of time till she gets her appetite back. I know it can be hard, but just be patient & offer your snake food every 2-3 days. Good luck.

A lot of snakes do that if they are cold and go into hibernation. Mine just came out of it. He didn't eat for 2 months. I actually just fed him an hour ago. he ate 4 mice. :)
Just keep trying every few days and check the temp in your tank. eventually he'll start eating again.

snakes are just now coming out of hibernation and its breeding time...my python didn't eat for a long time and now that its warming up he eats like crazy... i had trouble once getting my corn to eat...but they will eat when they are hungry...if your ultra worried then get Gatorade and original pedialite (the drink for toddlers) and mix it with water in its water dish for nutrition and hydration....never try to force food it will hurt then snake more then hurt it...if your snake does start loosing weight take it to a vet.

i've never heard of a corn snake before but i had 2 pythons that WOULD NOT EAT at all. but if its cold where you are it more than likely wont eat because its metabolism is low but when it warms up it'll eat!
