Not eating

My female corn is about two years old and a little over two feet long. According to other posts, she is a little over weight. She hasn't eaten for the past month, when I was giving her one or two small fuzzies a week. She isn't in the blue at the moment. Do snakes go anorexic? Or should I try another small animal? I'm starting to get a tad worried...

She is mature enough to want to breed, but probably still too young to actually breed. Many corn snakes go off food in the early spring, during mating season. She should be fine, and should start eating again in due time. Offer her food once a week, otherwise let her be, so long as she doesn't appear sick or underweight.
 
Overweight?

I don't know how a two-year old corn fed one or two small fuzzies a week could be overweight. I think it would be seriously underweight. My corns are usually eating fuzzies by 3 months of age and jumbo mice by 2 years. :shrugs:
