Default Im really Worried!

My corn has never not eaten not once. Not even when hes about to shed, today his eyes were blue, he ate one of his mice, and then the other he struck jumped back a couple of times but hten he rattled his tail and sped away into a hide i left the mouse for him , its been an hour and its still there ( i havent made noise or disturbed hm),this may not seem much but ive never even had trouble to get him to eat, seeing as he ate the other one, is this something to worry about or do you think its just because his eyes have clouded and he cant see too well?

Many Thanks in advance.
Miranda

Probably nothing to worry about, he won't be able to see too good and he has taken one of them so no real problem.

I don't think it's anything to worry about, lots of snakes wont eat in shed and get very grumpy about being offered food

I agree with the others. It is worrying when they act out of character but he will prob be back to normal once shed

Don't worry about it, he's becoming a 'man' and male adult Cornsnakes some times aren't the best feeders around this time of year (they have something else in mind!).
