Baby corn snake not eating

We need more information before we can help you.
How long have you had this snake? If you just got it, DON'T WORRY. Chances are your snake is still settling in. Wait five days or so before trying to feed again.
How old is this snake? And what is your tank setup like? Do you have hides? What is the temperature like?
Don't keep trying to feed your snake all the time because he will get stressed. Stick to a normal feeding schedule and offer food every 5-7 days.

Huh? Is this supposed to be a sentence?
What I am guessing you are trying to say is that you don't even know what temperatures are in your setup. If you are indeed using a UTH (NOT a heat map) and a heat lamp you are most likely way toooooo hot. Snakes may go off feed if it is too hot.
Get rid of the lamp, get a thermometer, and learn to use sentences.

First, how old is this snake? What are the temps in the cage? Did you try to feed it F/T or live? It hasn't been long enough to start panicing yet. She may be post shed or in the process of shedding. Do you know what it looks like when a snake is going to shed?

We returned the one that is not eating. She has gotten an albino corn. By the way the heat lamp is turned off and the UTH is on. Just keeping you guys updated.

I'm wlreptile touch your snake if it feels cold warm it up under the lamp and give it plenty of hiding plases and privacy put your snake inside its dely cup with the pinkie and cover it with something and give it time (dely cup must have holes )
I'm zwyatt ( 
) do not try to warm your snake up under a heat lamp. It should be cold enough to need warming unless it's winter or well below 70 degrees. A UTH is plenty to keep a snake warm. There is no sense in accidentally burning the little guy.

Do NOT do this. Snakes will feel cold to the touch most of the time. They prefer temps of 80-83 or so, and our skin temp is 91. Anything cooler than this will feel cool to the touch.
Note to WLReptile, if you wanna breed cornsnakes, you'd better start figuring out how care for them properly.

Great point, Becky. I'd also like to add that if you wanna give advice on the care of corn snakes, you'd better develop some clue on how to take care of them properly. What the heck's going on around here?BeckyG said:

What a pain in the cloaca!!!
Seriously, do you have something of benefit to provide, to share or to inquire about?
I don't want to, none of us want to, play your childish games. If you are really interested in taking care of your snake and learning about them then please use the search option to see if anyone else has already discussed your topic. If there is no information out there then make a post.
To earn respect you need to respect the other corn keepers and breeders on here who have been doing this for years, some of them tens of years...otherwise, you are wasting our time and your time.
That is it...I will not say anything else about this and if you want to keep being a troll then you will get what you deserve, but if you want to be a contributing memeber to the board...you will learn a lot that will help both you and your snake.
