Hi. I'm new. I have 2 corns. My oldest corn, which is about 7 months old (just a guess, unfortunately) is fine. Happy, healthy, and will eat anything i give her whenever I give it to her. I've had lots of reptiles in the past, including a corn (just to clarify, my father got rid of them, not me, because his "girlfriend" didn't like them. Not my fault, they didn't die or anything...)
Anyway, the problem. My fiancee decided he wanted a corn of his own a month ago. Our local PetCo had just gotten a new shipment of hatchlings. This is also where I got the older corn. PetCo has a 15 day return policy. The first corn that we got wouldn't eat. I've NEVER had a problem getting my herps to eat. We took it back after 2 weeks of trying. While we were there, they had a blizzard that ate rather agressively. We took that one as a replacement, assuming it wouldn't have this issue. It's been 2 weeks today, and now this one hasn't eaten at all. We've brained the pinky, tried live... nothing is working. This is the same clutch the other non-eater was from. I hate to take the snake back and look like a poor owner, but... I don't want the snake to die on me, 2 days after the guarantee is up. Is there any hope for this corn, or should I take it back?
Also, one of the other snakes in the clutch, looked like a blizzard, but with a strong pink pattern, had a spot on it's side, about a half inch long, that looked almost like the skin there was trying to come off (as in more pale than the rest, and drier). Now our blizzard has that spot. I've never seen it before, and I was wondering if it hurt itself somehow?
