My ghost corn has been very restless the past few weeks. I posted some messages about it. Well, now he won't eat. He ate on the 21st of July. Shed on the 27th of July. I've offered him his usually 1 adult mouse (f/t) on the 1st of Aug and again today. He started to try and eat it but let go since he grabbed it in the middle. He is still restless and wanting out all the time. I thought once breeding season was over he would calm down. He is over a year old and at least 3 foot long.
Should I just offer him food once a week now an hope he eats one of these times or what??
Thanks.
Also, his meal from today I refroze because I didn't want to waste it. His meal on the 1st I gave to my other corn so it wouldn't go to waste. Is it ok to refreeze mice?

I don't breed corns. They are just my pets. The replys I got from my corn being restless said he could be wanting to mate. Isn't mating season over now for corns?
Is the ambient temp warmer than usual in the room his enclosure is in? Today the temp climbed into the mid 90's. When I checked the herp room at the hottest point of the day, it was 3 degrees warmer than usual, but my kings and corns had taken to their water bowls for a soak. My two bulls, on the other hand, were restless.
I turned on the AC in there , and the bulls calmed down. The AC is on a timer with multiple settings, but today they just needed it on a little longer than usual. Sometimes a degree or two can make a big difference. . .just a thought.

We have our a/c on all the time now since we live in Arizona. Nothing is changed for him. So I don't know why he won't eat now.
