a corn snake can live a long time without food. I've heard stories about snakes not eating for 5 months and then coming out of it.
Actually, if your snake is a grown adult, you don't need to feed her weekly anyway. Most of us feed our adults on a 14 to 21 day schedule. So the fact that she has not eaten in a few weeks is really nothing, "In Snake Time."
My snake went off food for 4 weeks last year, and then he shed and went back to eating.
This year (a few weeks ago) he stopped eating again. Another 4 weeks. But this time he was trying to mate with my arm. It is breeding season for corn snakes and many of them stop eating as they have breeding in mind.
Anyway, he got over that and went back to eating. He's fine.
If you're worried about your snake carry her to a vet. Otherwise, she will eat when she's ready.
Has anything changed recently? Have you moved her to another room or location? Has the temperatures or humidity changed? Have your "Lighting and Darkness" situations changed? Have you got a new pet, a cat or dog recently? Sometimes a change in the surroundings or environment can make a snake go off food too.
