Question
i have 2 3ft corns , 1 refused feed twice is less active and keeps burying itself . not grumpy will be handled . how long is it safe to go without food , was due saturday refused tried today tuesday again refused . not due to shed was 2 weeks ago . thanks

Answer
It's kind of hard to say. At first thought, my guess would be that it's a male and is wanting to find a female. Males will often go off of food in the Springtime for this reason. That doesn't really explain the hiding though. Snakes can easily go 2 or more months without food however, so I wouldn't worry about it just yet as long as the snake appears healthy.
