Our cornsnake has refused to eat since being moved from her faun to a 4ft viv and now she has missed about 5 feeds. She has struck it and constricted it a couple of times then just leaves it and hides, we just tried to feed her again and even went as far as trying to feed her on my lap but she wasnt having any of it. Any advice please?

How big is she? A 4ft viv is quite a big step up from a faun. She may be a bit stressed in it. Alot of adult corns live in 3ft vivs.

It might be an idea. Some corns do fine in bigger vivs but seeing as she hasn't eaten since you moved her it could well be the reason.

Or you could divide the viv in half until she is bigger?
