My 5-foot corn, Ki, has now refused two meals in a row. He ate the week before that, but refused the one prior. These are his first refusals in the two years I have had him. He usually eats a large thawed mouse every 7 to 10 days, and usually quite avidly, taking it immediately when I dangle it in front of him. Now he has zero interest. If I leave the mouse with him for awhile, he ignores it and even slides right over top of it, like it wasn't there.
He is extremely active right now, like almost continually. Even more than previous springs. (His activity level in spring is why I think he is a male.) He shed about two weeks ago - often eats right after a shed, but not this time.
It has now been 23 days since he ate. When does this become a worry? That's my big question - I hear that corns can go a "very long time" between feeds, but I'd sure like to hear something more specific. And is there anything I should be doing?
Thanks!!
P.lS. Please forgive that I posted the same thing in response to someone else's questions. I am not sure mine showed up. I haven't posted much on this forum, though I read it - and appreciate that it is here.
