Hi i'm new here my names matt. I have a question recently i bought a hatchling female corn snake and she was fine for the first few weeks but now she's not eating. I'm doing everything the pet shop said [a pinky once a week] but she dosn't seem interested. Thanks in advance. Thankful for any info.

If your hatchling refuses to feed, when she was doing so well before, for longer than 2 weeks, it's time for a vet visit--she is most likely ill.
Hatchling snakes can be very delicate--susceptable to illness if temps aren't just right, and susceptable to dehydration (make sure fresh water is always available and easily accessable, and that the humidity is right).

there might also be a change in temp. cheak your thermometer, make sure its the proper temp.sometimes the snake is not warm enough to digest the food. Try putting the snake and pinky in a pillowcase, leave it alone for a while, then check it the pinky's gone.
