    My young corn snake not eaten for 6 months
    My young corn snake has not eaten since christmas, we are now in June. I have it on a heat pad, only part of his tank. He has access to fresh water, he is handled, but I notice the scalesare not sticking up on his skin. I have been told by various people to force feed it, which Ido not really agree with as I have large hands and fingers and I am scared of hurting him. He ate quite well for the first 2 months we had him. Now nothing,I have bought him pinkies,defrosted in water water, cut off their heads, pulled away the baby mouses skin split it open , you name it. . All quite gross. He still won't eat. Last attempt was 2 days ago. I have had corn snakes before, my last one was almost 5'5" long, but this one has me worried. Can anyone help, vets take a dim view, some vets contridict each other. Do Not Know What Else To DO. He will die if he doesn't eat soon.
    Thank you

    Have you tried microwaving them and tying them onto a bit of string and kindof leading the mouse around the cage? Microwaving might make it think its alive and warm.
