No offense....but I can hardly make out what you are asking....but I will try...

Corns don't need much humidity, but not bone dry either. Keep a full water bowl, and during shed times provide a humid hide or spray the cage.

About it being healthy or not.....the snake shouldn't have any folds, should eat good, no mites or ticks or noises coming from his breathing. No wetness coming out his nose or mouth, and generally strong and active.

cornsnakes are real easy to care for, and usually great feeders. All you need is a full water bowl for the humidity. When its eyes turn light blue during shedding you can spray the tank with a spray bottle to add a little extra moisture, make sure it doesnt get too wet in the tank. How big is the snake and what kind of corn is it?

If you have no clue whats going on, and the only thing happening is the snake is not moving....maybe you should take it to the vet.

I am not getting enough information to say whats wrong, nor can I tell you without being a vet.

Is your snake really NOT moving? Or is he hiding? Snakes don't move much, sure the crawl about sometimes and active at night...but in the daytime they usually coil up and sleep. Is this what he is doing? Will he move when you pick him up? Is he strong "feeling" when you pick him up?
