hi everyone ...
my corn is 14 months old and has always been a great eater. but 4 months ago it was moved to a new viv cos it outgrown it and since then it wont eat and yes i have looked through other posts regarding snakes not eating. it reacts to the dead rat pup or fuzzy mouse (rat pups were its usual food) straight away like it used to but it pulls away just as its nose/toungue touches it.it has shed its skin 3 times since it stopped eating on its own and all sheds have been complete sheds.
it doesnt look underweight and is just as lively in its viv and there is no sign of mites. after 2.5 months i put the corn in a small tub with airholes and a "brained" dead rat pup, left it over night and it ate it,great, but after that nothing not even in a tub then 2 weeks ago it ate one in a tub again but again nothing after that not even in a tub. now its eyes have gone a cloudy grey so a skin shedding is due. it hasnt pood for a while but if its not eating it wont will it.
please can anyone suggest anything else to try if not i will take it to vets after it has shed its skin.
thanx ...darren |
