I usually feed my adult corn snake 3 live mice every week, however she has been refusing the mice for the past three weeks. i have been expecting her to shed also, but this has not happened either, how can i get her to eat, is this relevant to her temperature?

How big are the mice... You could be over feeding if there too big.. the corn can usualy live on 1 mouse per week-10days.Also it is spring and she may be looking for a mate.

What temperature is she at? In order for someone to have an opinion if its temperature related, we need those sort of details.

has she moved house or had a change in her life resently?

I've noticed that my boyfriend's ball python will refused F/T at times, so we tried a live mouse and he attacked it almost instantly. I sometimes poke the prey with a stick so as to give the impression that its alive. It sometimes works out, other times it doesn't.
