One of my 3 corn snakes, Aphrodite, a female (I was told by a breeder that she was female) that will be 4 years old in July, isn't eating. She hasn't eaten in 3 weeks as of yesterday. She's in the same tank that she's always been in (by herself) and she is in the same place in the room she's been in for almost 5 months. Her heating temp has always been the same so nothing has changed in that way either.
I have had her since she was a hatchling and she's never refused a feeding; even when she was in blue. I didn't see a regurged mouse or anything, but I did find something in her tank. It was hard but I am not sure if it was dried up poop or a regurge that was mostly digested.
If she regurged, shouldn't she be somewhat healed by now? It's been 3 weeks since she last ate. Or could it just be that it's breeding season and she's more interested in mating? She's never done this before. Do corns suddenly have this behavior after 2 years of being considered adults?
I know snakes can go a pretty long time without eating, but it's just so unlike her. What do you think I should do now and if this continues?
