Hey, I bought 2 normal Corn Snakes at a reptile show in October. One of them is doing very well (except for going off feed once for 3 weeks) and the other is complete trouble. He hasn't eaten the whole time I've had him, so I resorted to force feeding after 4 weeks. I had tried everything imaginable except lizard scenting, chicken broth, washing with soap, in a container, live, f/t, brained. The snake was about 2 months old when I bought it, and that was 3 months ago. I remember being told it was eating well, but now I'm starting to think it might have been force fed the whole time. Anyways, the snake is very small and weak, and I was told to only force feed it every 2 weeks by a local reptile store. It has been force fed 3 times now, but it still doesn't show any interest in food when I offer it, and it seems to be getting weaker all the time. I was wondering if I should be getting it force fed every week instead, and I also read that force feeding it pinky heads every 3 days is a good schedule to get a snake back on track. I really feel like giving up and euthanizing it, but I just don't have the heart to do that. Anything else I should try?
Thanks
