An otherwise healthy adult Corn can go for months without eating. My old male went through a patch once when he ate twice in seven months.

Is yours male? Could just be a breeding season fast, in which case a break from eating for anything up to a couple of months, would be normal from about his age.

We have a 2.5 year old male corn that suddenly stopped eating about two months ago, in the middle of winter. He is also very active, rarely in a hide and almost constantly looking for a way to escape his habitat. Just recently he ate a hopper, but he seems totally disinterested in anything larger. My wife thinks he is just looking for a chance to mate. The only female corn we have, located in another room, is just staying in her hide almost 24/7.

Yep - it's spring, and male snakes' thoughts turn to...not eating. He should be fine and hungry again in no time.
