Little advice please :)

Alright corn people...I need your help. I do not keep corns and honestly don't know much about them. My neighbor has a corn snake that has stopped eating and she asked me to come check it out. It is 2 years old, maybe a little older and has always ate no problems. It lives in a 40g, aspen bedding cool side 75 warm side 85 with a UTH that reads 87. She has had this corn since it was a baby and has always eaten no problem but has recently refused. It has been a month (March 16) and she is worried. Snake looks good to me (for how much i know about corns), isn't losing weight or anything the only thing she has noticed differently is it is stretching the length of the tank a lot where is didn't really do that before and is much more active.

My thoughts are wanting to breed??? Don't know though so anyone with suggestions I would appreciate. Thanks

Yep, we are well into it. 1 clutch laid and 1 gravid for me. I bet you anything that's why he won't eat. I have several males that won't eat for that reason.

Re: Little advice please :)

Most corns do eat good, it's males and sometimes female can go off feed in breeding season.
