I have a 10+ year old male corn that I've had since he was about a year old. He's always been a great eater, one thawed adult mouse per week, always on Tuesday for nearly a decade (he knows his schedule!), only ever refusing food if he was in the middle of a shed. He's an active and friendly guy. His care has been consistent all this time. He has been my only snake until fairly recently. A few months ago I adopted an adult ~5 year old female. They've never interacted with each other, I have no intention of breeding them, and of course they aren't housed together. Their enclosures are both in the same room, though. My male has been refusing food for about 6 weeks now, and I'm fairly certain this is probably related to the female, but I just wanted to get a second opinion since he has never refused food for this long before. He hasn't lost much, if any, weight, his muscle tone is good and his behavior has remained largely normal. I'm pretty sure he's fine, and I'm sure he'll resume eating eventually, I'm just a worried snake parent (and I'll definitely rush him to the vet if his health starts to decline, he's due for his annual exam soon anyway).
