Hi, my name is Jamie and my largest snake refuses to eat. He is 5 and 5ft 10", I am not too worried as I know he can go a while without eating but he has not eaten since his last shed that was now three weeks ago. Any reasons why, I think he's now fully grown. Any help would be appreciated.

Has his environment changed at all? Male corn snakes often refuse food sporadically during the spring while they look for a mate. At his age and size, I wouldn't worry at all if he skips some meals. Just continue to offer him a smaller than normal very hot meal once a week (or even once every two weeks). It helps if you have another snake to feed his rejected meals to.

It's impossible to know. My adult males are often picky eaters for about 2 months in the spring, where they would refuse about every other feeding and sometimes refuse food twice in a row.
