nothin to worry about mate, snakes can go months without eating. its more common with royal pythons but it can happen to corns. if a snake is shedding it will probably refuse to eat or if it feels threatened, just keep tryin to feed him/her every week :)

i'm guessing he's an adult? if so, theres nothing to worry about (even if he isn't an adult :) ). You could do with dropping your warm side a degree or so, 30 is imo reaching the top end for a constant temperature for corns

I have 2 fussy eaters as well although I do everything I can to make sure they don't skip meals now. What are you feeding him? Maybe he donst need all that food.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
