dont be worried, a 3 week fast is absolutely nothing to worry about. Also with the rubbing could possibly be coming upto shed (another reason may not be eating).

corns cant really be visually sexedm probing is the only 100% way. as 'she' is off her food and rubbing everything id lean to male. rep shops will normall sex for free or a small fee.

aslo mine are probed, midnight is female and has shorter stumpy tail compared to lightning probed as male who has a longer thiner tail. it completley depends on the snake.
