| Hi, not sure what to do really, my corn went missing for about 4 weeks, didn't feed the week before he went, he's been back 2 weeks and still not eating, he's pooing but it's a strange colour, I'm relatively new to this and could do with some advise :( |

Glad he's back home after his adventure. 
By strange colour I'll presume you mean dull and eyes are cloudy. This just means that he's preparing to shed his skin. Some snakes will refuse to eat until afterwards. Try feeding after he completes the shedding. 
Snakes can skip a meal for several weeks with no harm. What age is your snake? |

| It's his poo Thts a funny colour, normally dark but it's recently been creamy coloured, he's about a year old and hasn't shed since November, I was told he should shed more often???? Also he's always in his hut on the cool side but the temperature hasn't changed, and doesn't come out unless I get him out to handle, worried I'm doing something wrong!!! |

if the temps are that low he wont eat because he wont be able to digest easily.
