I got my corn snake, Kylie 3 weeks this Friday, and she has been shedding since before I got her. I am worried coz she ain't eaten since almost a month now. Is it ok to keep trying her with food every now and then until she does take or should I do something else. Plz reply. Thanx. |

| Try braining the pinkie, this is when you cut the head of the mouse a bit to expose brain matter. It can tempt your snake into eating. How big is the snake? How big is its viv? |

I like Chick's thighs
But seriously, GP is right, it could well be down to the setup, size of viv, temps, etc. |

| with your set-up the only thing i'd suggest is covering up 3 sides of the faunarium so the snake feels less exposed |
