Its better to be concerned though then not care so better to ask than not. I was the same with our snake - I was like eat, eat eat and panicking. As someone else has said though - hardy buggers these corns...

I had (She's at the breeder right now) a Snow Motley who didnt eat for about 7 weeks,when i took her back to the breeder (to get her to eat) he checked her out and said she still looked great for having not eat for so long


He called me again today,and told me that she ate once agin today,thats 3 weeks in a row with no trouble at all

I personally think that 7 weeks is a bit much (not to mention the stress i had to deal with.. )
But i wouldnt start to worry too much if its less than 5-6 weeks (if im wrong...please tell me..)

gnarhimself - It does depend on the size of the snake, but for a full grown adult, 7 weeks is certainly nothing to worry about.

I'd have to count the weeks on his chart to find the exact figure, but it was 3 months or more that mine fasted last year, and he didn't even lose weight.
