A very very very long time. I went away for two weeks once, just asked my trusted neighbour to check on them once a day and top up their water bowls.

I think someone on here has a snake that hasn't eaten in 2 years. Maybe that was another forum. But it proves the point.

Don't worry, he will be fine. Snakes can go a very long time without food.

I have a royal that hasnt eaten for 14 months, but thats slightly different.
A good weight corn will easily go a couple of months without food and still be a healthy weight.
