Just shed/Still Not Eating

My 7 month old corn snake just shed, a piece of skin (his head part) is still stuck to the back of his neck. I massaged him with a warm damp washrag for about 10 minutes so hopefully it'll come off tomorrow (the head part is entirely shed off, just a piece of it is hanging off the back of his neck so his eyecaps are good).

But he hasn't eaten in 2 weeks...this is the longest he has gone without food. Since he just completed his shed (well...almost), his "pms" was gone and I figured he'd be starving enough to take a fuzzy. Wasn't interested in it at all, just wanted to go exploring. Is this a sign that he's probably sick?? :awcrap:

Again his temps are normal, 80-86 on the high, about 75 on the low.

I just read something about males "fasting" in the spring due to mating...is this possible? If so...how long should I expect his fasting to continue?

I wouldn't think at that age he is looking for love, but 2 weeks isn't that long anyway. Sometimes a smaller meal when they go through this is enough to get them back on board. I would get a pinkie, defrost in warm water, and slit it to make it smell more appealing in a few days and see if he takes this. A fuzzy is a big meal for a wee worm and maybe he just isn't that hungry yet.

2 weeks isnt long jus wait a few days and offer him food again and hopefully he'll eat eventually. good luck

2 threads about the same snake with the same problem probably wont get you any different answers

lol sorry...I'm a "forum" newbie, I didn't think to continue with my other post lol.

I'll pick up a pinkie later on today and see if he takes that...he was wandering around this morning as if he was looking for food...snakes are so confusing.

most people on here would frown about this, but i have a July hatchling thats been eating f/t hoppers for a while and recently stopped eating. tried f/t a few times, tried a couple p/k, after a while i just put in a live and he ate it like a bat outta hell. so i gave another f/t but nothing. so i tried p/k and nothing, another live and same thing. so now i went from f/t to live. it sucks, but its better than not eating. i dont know why he wanted live again, but hes an agressive eater and loves to kill everything he can i guess. try some p/k or live if you want. just stun the mouse. maybe its the pulse or heartbeat that does it. who knows.

He finally ate! It was his regular thawed one too. I'm wondering if his particularly bad shed had something to do with it...it was a really bad shed :-(. Normally he sheds in two pieces...
