Okay we received my corn as about a month old. It has been 2 weeks and she isn't eating. We hope it won't go down to force feeding since we have never done this before. What I have tried is scenting and poking holes in the pinky and such. We have tried many pinkies...taking a couple days in between each time. What do I do now? How long do you think she can handle this?

Well first off, wait till the next scheduled feeding day untill trying again, repeated attempts can be just as stressful on the snake.
Have you tried leaving the snake with it over night?

Is the food warm when you give it to her? Have you tried it live?
When I first got my corn, she ate right away after a few days of settling in. Then she seemed to go off her feed completely, wouldn't take anything no matter what I tried. It was about a month and I was starting to get really worried...but she started eating again on her own, and is eating a fuzzy every 5th day now...and growing like a bad weed!
Well okay I just got back from a football meet called "Meet the Jacks" (football ROCKS!) well anyway and we checked the deli cup and she had just shed. We are guessing maybe that could be why. We just cut off a pinky head and put it in there with her and hopefully she will eat it. If she doesn't, then what do I do?
