We have two corns. One is a baby and just shed, just weighed him and he lost 4 grams. The other one is and adult and has lost weight since last feeding. Was told to change him from small rats to adult mice and feed him only ever 12 to 14 days instead of once a week. The oldest one is starting to show signs of going to shed. Tried feeding him, but he wouldn't eat. Should I be worried or is this ok.

Hi, welcome to the forum.

What do the snakes weigh now? You have said they have lost weight but without knowing their weight it's impossible to know if it's an issue or not. Some other info mentioned in the link below may also help.
