I ust got my first snake on the 3rd of july, shes a 4 year old female, She eats every saturday (she ate just fine the 7th, 14th, and 21st). She last ate on the 21st of july then failed to eat the next saturday, i waited another week until the 4th of August but she still didn't eat. She then shed on the 6th of Augest and ive been trying to feed her since but she still hasn't eaten. Should i be worried? or should i just wait a few more days?
 
I've had pain-in-the-*bleep* young corns that all of a sudden wouldn't eat anything except live after a shed, but 4+ years seems a little old for that. We ARE talking about a corn snake, right?

Of course, make sure her temps are good. Don't try to feed her too frequently. Give her at least a week from your last attempt, and try to give her something smaller than she usually eats.
