I had one female go 56 weeks without eating. If they are off food now don't expect them to eat until atleast April.

I think it is amazing how long snakes can go without eating, whats more shocking/ funny, and yet kinda disturbing is that when i got my first corn it went for about a month strike and it was only about 1 foot long! When i called a vet he told me that i should try a diifferent type of food, he sugested FRUIT!!! *sigh* I learned after years of owning snakes that it is a frustrating habit that they sometimes adopt, and like corey says sometimes as frustrating as it is theres not a lot you can do
