I posted in a previous thread about my cornsnakes coloring being "off" and she has been inactive and irritable. Was told she was probably in "blue". That lasted three days and then she cleared up. She moved around for a day then started hiding again. She looked a little whitish and her eyes turned sort of white so I figured she was getting ready to shed. After two days of this she cleared up but still hasn't shed. I tried to feed her and she has refused to eat. She head butted the mouse but when I moved it she startled like she was scared and then wouldn't come near it. Every time I moved it she ran. I tried just leaving her alone for awhile but she still hasn't ate. It has been 12 days since she ate and she was eating every seven days and attacking the food really fast and eating well. I just got her out and let her crawl around me after trying to feed her. She still wouldn't eat. She has a few places on her that looks like dry skin. I put a moist hide in with her but she hasn't used it. I place damp paper towels around her viv. Should I put her in a soak tub for awhile? Just wait and see and try to feed her again in a few days? She looks a little thin. When she was crawling around my arms I notice she has clear definition between her muscles which she didn't have before? She moved around fine and seemed calm but when I put her back in her viv and then reached in to get her water dish she struck at me and rattled her tail. I don't have a vet around that will treat snakes so I am at a loss as to what to do. I checked the temps in her viv and it is 80 on the warm side and 70 on the cool side so I don't think the temp is the problem.
