Feed Problems

I have had my corn snake for about 2 weeks now and i have been trying to feed it the last five days. Ive left live and dead pinky's with it overnight. Ive left pinky's with it in a smaller container overnight. I bought lizard scent maker and left the mouse with the snake and i have tried braining the pinky. After all these attempts the snake still hasnt eaten. I have also tried tease feeding but im not sure iof i did it right so if any of you know any other methods or any tips that would help get my snake eating please let me know
 
Well, first of all, you're stressing the snake out by trying to feed it every day. Leave it alone for a couple days and try again.
 
Leave it alone for a few days to let it unstress itself then put a warm brained pinkie in the tank or in a smaller one (witth the snake, of course).
 
Hey Cornelious,
Like everyone said leave it alone for about 4 days.
Do not disturbe it except to change the water. Then try again. So far it sounds like you are trying all the right "tricks" of feeding. The next time you try place the food in a container (brown paper bag works well) then place the snake in secure the opening and put it back in the snakes viv and wait for about 10 minutes.
Snakes can go a long time between meals. I once had one that went about 8 weeks without eating. I finally tried braining a live pink and the snake grabbed it before I could let go of the snake. I had to do that a few times before it took f/t.
I hope that this helps,
Jimmy C.
