Help!
I need some help! I have two young female corns that I got at the same time. I got both of them on October 2nd and they are both 2002 hatchlings. They fed right off and continued to eat every 4 to 6 days. They both ate often and would take two pinkies each about half of the time. The last time they ate was November 4th and I have been unable to get them to eat since. I've tried all of the tricks that I've seen mentioned here in the forum. I placed them each in a deli cup over night with a pinky. The next morning both pinkies were still in their cups. I tried braining pinkies, I've tried holding them firmly in my hand with the pinky in front of them, and nothing has worked. I've even resorted to leaving two live pinkies in the cage and they have now been in there going on two days. One has died and I've already pitched it. The other is not far behind. Both snakes are still very active at night, after the lights are out, but they have totally ignored the food. What bothers me is that they were both such good feeders, and they both stopped at the same time. I have the warm side of the cage around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the cool side around 73 degrees fahrenheit. Humidity is probably a little low due to the heat being on, but one of them shed a week ago and it was a perfect shed.
Does anyone have any other tricks to try? I know I need to be patient, but it is all very frustrating.
Any advice will be appreciated,
Mike
