hey my pregnant cornsnake is about two weeks pregnant and is quite big considering that and i recently tried feeding her and she looked totaly un interested should i try feeding her the same mouse or a smaller one or not try at all cos im not sure
When was her prelay shed? Some snakes go off food when they're gravid just before they lay, some don't. If she hasn't eaten this week, I'd try offering again next week and see if she'll take it. You can still offer her the regular sized mouse you normally do, but after she lays offer her something smaller than she normally takes as her first feed.
Mine stopped eating after a week or so when she was gravid. I offered her a couple but she didnt eat until a week after laying her eggs. Dont worry too much. The eggs inside her make passing food uncomfortable. It couldnt hurt to offer her a smaller than usual mouse, but dont worry if she doesnt eat it :)
