Senior corn

Hi, My corn is 16 years old and has stopped eating. He is getting thin. Any suggestions?

You could try the list of feeding tricks that is usually used for babies. http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=131573

Their lifespan in captivity is considered 15-20 years, so he is definitely a senior and may just be reaching his end, sad to to say. Does he appear to be sick at all or has anything in his environment changed?

He doesn't really appear sick just not as active. He is still drinking water. Nothing in his environment has changed in years. I live alone and don't handle him at all. I feed and water him every Saturday and that's it. He was my son's snake when he went off to college. He's married with kids now. lol
