No they don't all go off feed at this time. I have a 2002 male cornsnake that has never gone off feed even though he has shown interest in breeding. My male 2001 went off feed in spring of 2003, but not this year so far. My 2000 male is still eating but at reduced amounts.



If you don't want them to breed, then don't. There is nothing that says you have to breed them.



They may indeed go off feed especially if they can smell each other and are in the mood, but when breeding season passes they will start to eat again. They may lose a little weight, but it shouldn't be a big deal if they are currently at an okay weight.
