I posted this on the corn snake forum but didn't get any real answer....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 on the 4th. 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 the 4th 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?
AND I do have another corn that I think is a female. Someone said female give off a scent. Could this be why my ghost is going crazy? She suggested moving him to another room so he can't smell her. That is what I'm thinking to. I don't know what else to do to get him to eat. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME.....

Female snakes do give off a trail of pheromones. It wouldn't surprise me since many snakes can and will breed more than once (or twice) if the weather permits it. As long as the male is not losing weight drastically I wouldn't consider it too much of a problem.
