| Hi need some advice please. I have a corn snake that i have had for about 6 / 7 months, not sure how old he is. He has shed twice, the second shed was very quick. He hasnt eaten in 5 weeks and his colouring on his belly is changing. he was white and now turning a very dark orange from the middle to the end, and his black squares on his belly are changing too. He is active inside and outside of his tank, so i am not sure what is wrong with him or what to do? Any advice would be great. |
Thanks
Michelle |

Hi Michelle,
Pics would be great.
I wouldnt worry too much about not eating for 5 weeks. Believe me, they can go a lot lot longer without feeding. Main thing is that he doesnt loose much wieght. My King never ate for 4 months and hardly lost a gram!
I have a carolina that belly changed in colour to like an light brown/orangy colour. I think that is normal. But pics would help someone tell you more...

Hi michelle and welcome to the forum,
If you can give us a little information such as
Size and weight of snake
size of viv
temperatures warm and cool end
If you could let us know how the viv/faun is heated.
How is the heat regulated?
How are you measuring the temperature (dial thermometer/lcd strip/digital probe)
Where are the thermometers placed?
What substrate (bedding) you use?
i know theres quite a few questions, but this should give the forum members something more to go on and hopefully give you a more comprehensive answer/ list of possibilities.
Cheers

did that "before you ask a question" post i did ever get stickied? i think it was going to be.
@michelle- welcome to TCS. As steve says, nothing seems particulaurly out of the ordinary. my largeer corn is orange from the middle to the tail but white at the front and the eating is of no MAJOR concern but that does depend on the snakes current size and weight. any extra info would be great. in the mean time dont panic! :) good luck and welcome once again! |
