I have a female corn who is almost 3 years old. She has always been a great when it comes to feeding (eating one large adult mouse weekly for awhile now) up until this past week. About a week and a half ago she shed. Since this shed she has been much more active in her cage moving around and looking for an escape. Her enclosure has a warm side at around 80-85 and a cool side between 70-75. Hides on both sides and fresh water. Since her shed she has not eaten although she shows a lot of interest when I display her FT mouse. Lot's of tongue flicking and following it with her head, but she is not eating. I am wondering if it might be that she is going into a mating response for this time of year but thought I would check with some of you experienced keepers. I'm not overly worried because she has eaten within the last month, and has good weight, but I am a bit concerned over this new behavior.
