have a corn snake that will not have tried for almost 4 weeks with no luck. Moved her to a new cage with more room and will not eat now. The only thing I changed in the cage was his water bowl to 1 a little bigger, She was eating fine untill the move. What can I do?

How big is the snake? What are the temps in the new cage. Need a little more info.

If it is a hatchling feed it in the deli dish it came with.

Some Corns do hate any kind of change. I have one who will go off his food for weeks/months if I move him into a different viv (or even move the same one to a different room).

If you haven't already, I'd throw as many hides and as much ground cover as possible into the new tank. Try to give the snake as many hiding places as possible so that it can feel secure in this new and apparently frightening place.

Apart from that, check the basic setup in the new tank as Fatman suggests. Especially the temps - too hot or too cold can affect whether they eat or not.
