hi....

my snake is not as hyper as it was 2 weeks ago....i dunno why but it use to always try to escape at night but now it dsnt do that anymore....and wen i carry it i dnt feel like its as strong as before it looks weak.....i dunno wat to do ...i feed it like every 2 weeks ....and i always change the water.....does any of u have an advice ??
 
How old is your snake????

Unless your corn is an adult, it should be fed WAY more than every 2 weeks. Hatchlings can take a lot of food, and should be fed around every 5-7 days. Even adults get fed every 10-14 days.
 
ya well but i always fed my snake every 2 weeks....its lik 74 cm ....i think its an adult....do u guys recommend vitamins ?? //and is it possible its sick? ....
 
ok slick. based on the size you say it is it is more likely that it is an yearling not quite adult.i would recommend you feed you corn two mice every 5-7 days. it sounds to me like he is not getting enough food. im not an expert but i also have a yearling that is close to the size of yours and she eats to mice every week.it is possible that since you feed him every two weeks that he has a vitamin deficency but you should consult with a good reptile vet.::IMHO:::

an adult mouse ....i dnt really know wat that is......but its quite big.....i use to feed it small mice now i feed it big ones
 
maybe

Could he be about to shed? Mine get all groggy and lazy before they start shedding, my guess is that they are saving up energy before having to move a bunch to shed...
 
Yeah, The shedding theory could be a start. Also, if you are feeding adult mice you shouldn't need vitamins. I would be feeding him more than one mouse every 2 weeks though...
