I've got an adult corn that one of my brother's friends gave to me about four weeks ago. This corn was captive bred and born and is about 4 years old. Ryan, my brother's friend, had to give the snake up since he was joining the military and getting moved around a lot. He had never had a problem getting the snake to eat, but something had changed. About a week after I got the snake, I fed it a small rat and it ate just fine. That was about three weeks ago now, and the thing won't eat. I tried getting it to eat again late last week, but nothing. I've tried twice today and it won't eat. It's starting to get thin, but nothing seems to be working. I've even tried taking the snake and putting it in a closed cardboard box with two mice (both fresh kills) in the box with it to try and entice it to feed. Nothing has worked. The snake was not in brumation, so I don't think that's the problem. Temp and humidity in the cage are fine... mid 80's for temp and right around 65% humidity.
If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!!

Either way, 3 weeks isn't a real problem. She just may not be hungry and that's ok too.
