About a month and a half ago I bought a candy cane corn snake from pet smart. I've done my best to follow all recommended procedures, put it in its home and left it alone for over a week. Then thawed and warmed a pinkie and left it overnight. No luck, so I've tried again every 7 days. The only change I've noticed is its interest in the food has increased but no eating. Even tried braining without success.
Temps in the cage are mid 70s on cool side mid 80s on warm side, humidity stays between 40%-60%. Snake seems to be following its normal routine hides most of the day very active at night. I'm wondering if its in a shed cycle I've noticed dulling and slight darkening of its color also its been rubbing its nose on things every now and then. One last thing it has two dark spots inside it that are slowly moving toward its tail. So I'm thinking its either shedding and or hasn't passed its last meal yet. But since this is my first snake I wanted some educated input, apologies for the long post and thanks in advance :)
