My Corn won't eat!

:sobstory:
I am a new snake owner. I have two corns both approx 6 to 8 weeks old. My males eats great! My female won't eat. When I purchased her I was told she had not ate in a week so it was feeding time. I tried to feed her that night but she would not eat. I waited a couple days and tried again - no luck. Every other try with no luck also. I have now owned her for 3 weeks so she has not ate in 4 weeks. I have tried smaller cage. Darkness. Even bought some picky eater stuff from the store that you put on lips for 2 days then they should eat.

She seems very healthy otherwise - she is active, lots of tongue flicking etc. She shows no signs of shedding.

What next? :cry:

Picky eater stuff that you put on lips? The snake's lips? I've never heard of such a thing.

I suggest you leave her completely alone for at least a week. In the meantime, read through some of the many old threads on this forum covering this very subject. You'll find all you'll ever need to know here.
