Why Won T My Corn Snake Eat?
David Wilson
When your snake is about to molt or shed its skin, it may stop eating in order to conserve energy and keep its body in good condition. 1 Look for your snake’s skin to turn pale and dull, and its eyes to turn blue and milky, as well as anorexia. Prior to and following its molt, it may go weeks without eating.
