Another snake won't eat

hey guys i know your all probley sick and tired of these questions but my youngest corn marley won't eat he shed 2 weeks ago and then a day later wouldn't eat. i've tried to feed him every couple days and he won't eat. When he goes up to the live pinky he smeels it like he always does and the jerks his head away from it. My other snake, a texas rat will eat the pinkys that the corn refuse's with no problem therefore i know it's not the pinky. how long should i wait untill i take him to the vet/force feed ? i know it's streesful for the snake but so is not eating.
Anything would help thanks
Richard
P.S - i also tryed brained pinkys with no luck
 
hey richard have you tried leaving the corn in with the pink in a lunch bag in a warm place overnite. if you have try to scent it with lizard scent or get an anole and rub the pink on it. ive had success with both of theses methods when trying to get corns that have been force fed toeat on their own. please let us know how you fare with these methods. another quick suggestion have you tried a prekilled pink. i had on corn who wouldnt eat anything that moves or squeaks. this is imho.

He ATE !

fianally, thanks for your help i droped a f/t pikys in front of him in his tank and he wolfed it down. I normally like to feed him in another place but what ever works i guess to get him eating again. Once again thanks for you help. Oh and btw the f/t pinkey he ate this morning was the same one he refused last night.
so i guess he likes um frozen
Thanks
Richard
