My female ghost that hasn't eaten since Jan 26th (1 f/t mouse) finally ate this morning. She ate a f/t rat (small - but still really big comparatively though). Took her a while to finish it but at least she did. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that she keeps it down...Heres a pic just so you can see the size of this thing - talk about a big lump! Sorry it's a little blurry.

That appears to be a good size mouse for that snake, but I'm happy it's feeding. I know how aggravating it can be. I have one that's been off food for 7 weeks. Yes, we've been to the vet, temps are fine, etc.

Congrats on the feeding. I had trouble with my Corn once. It would only eat Anoles. I wanted him to eat mice b/c the Anoles bite back, but he wouldn't eat mice. So one day I got a rat pup and he ate that. And know he eats mice every week. I think you Corn will be back to normal.
