Hi I have a 4 foot corn snake.
He has shed 4 weeks ago and has not fed. I worm the mouse and breaks the skin of the mouse, no joy. I tease the snake with the mouse, he show's an intrest, but nothing. I am aware that this time of year thay slow down and at time can go of there food. I have the tank covered to try to get him out and eat.

dont know what else to do? when he out he is good form and he feels good
 
I have an adult male about the same size and he's stopped eating for about 5 weeks now. It's wintertime, I believe it's normal. I;'m not worried about it, I offer food every 2 weeks and he ignores it. Eventually he'kk start eating again, Last year he went about 3 months.
 
It's not the winter that's stopping the feeding, it's the time of the year when they start breeding. He'll start again when he's ready. Mine also went off food for 3 months at breeding time. My males this year are so far continuing to eat, but some were brumated.
