My corn snake is super dehydrated not eating or drinking. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get him to eat or drink?

Get one of those handheld infrared thermometers, point it directly at your snake, and tell us what temperature you are reading from the display.

How do you know he’s dehydrated. When was the last time he ate. How big is he. What’s the temperatures in the tank. Do you use a thermostat.

just because the snake does not drink when you tell him to doesn't mean he's dehydrated. I rarely see my snake drink.

Also, a healthy snake can live months without food. Sometimes they don't eat when they are about to shed. How long has he been without food?

And also, as already mentioned by others, if temps are not right, the snake may not eat. In fact he could get ill.
