Hi Rachi-

Afraid before anyone can help we will need alot more info about your snakes!

1. Do they live together or apart?
2. What are the hot end and cold end temps?
3. How are temps measured and regulated?
4. What is your setup like- viv size, heating, lighting, decor, substrate- everything!
5. Have you tried any other techniques to get her to eat?
6. Has the snake recently undergone anything stressful?

Etc etc.

I know its a lot of questions but answer them as best you can and you will get some good advice!

So how do you expect people to breed corns? Just put a few together and hope they are differant sexes?

The reason I ask is because males may go off their food at this time.

It could have produced eggs, though its unlikely. This would stop it from feeding.
