Hi, late juner 2008 we were asked to look after a young corn around 6 weeks of age as it wouldnt eat so we took it in, and first thing we noticed ws that it had no water and no where to shelter/hide itself, so we sorted it out with a new enclosure, with plenty of wate and shelter/hiding space. After we gave it a week to settle in to its new enclosure we thought we would see what his reaction to food is, and he showed absolutly no intrest, it is now march 2009 and he has still not taken food on his own we have tried everything, braining the pinky, pinky thighs, mouse tails, mealworms, leaving him in a small dark place overnight with nothing but the pinky, but nothing has worked, althoughy he has not lost anyweight scince we got him he has only gained 2g, he was 5g when we first got him and has only reached 7g now, not gaining any weight in the last 5+ weeks. i need some help on what to do as his relationship with food has not changed at all and he is still as reluctant as every to take any food. if any one knows of anything i could try i would be very gratefull.

hope to recieve some great advice, so maybe i wont be force feeding this snake fore eva.
