 Ive tried everything!!!!!!!!!
I bought 2 anerys over 2 weeks ago, one was slightly larger than the other, the larger one took a pinky right away, and ive fed her 2 more times since and she has grown substationally, and just went into blue phase(think thats what they call it when they are about to shed), but the smaller one has refused to eat at all, she has bitten the pinky but then moves on and loses interest. Ive tried seperate feeding tank, split head pinky, tuna scenting, putting her in a cup and covering her overnight, and she still shows no interest and isnt shedding either....what should I do!?

Are you handling them at all? That could be stressing her out. Leave her alone for a week and then put her in a small container with a pinky overnight. Can you get ahold of a live one to try?

My corn didn’t eat for a month when we got her over 5 years ago! She’s doing great. We did what you do and found if we fed ft and washed w/ a lil soap she ate it. I tried lives, she pushed it away. She was stressed. So we seriously didn’t handle her for almost 2 weeks and fed w/ the washed ft pinkie and she was good to go. Just give it a little time and don’t worry unless it looks like it’s loosing weight and getting skinny looking. Some snakes are stubborn. Good Luck!!! I hope it eats soon for you!

Thanks for the suggestions, Ive decided that I wont bother her for a week and then try again, the only time Ive opened the container is just to make sure she is ok, she was out of her hide last night so i just left the room and kept the light off, her "sister" is about to shed, any suggestions to make it easier for her? Im really surprised that they are still stressed, I got my grey banded in the mail about a week ago and hes doing just fine and loving his new tank!

When any of mine are ready for shed, I give them a slightly warm bath right after they come out of the haze mode. Before that, I mist them daily, to help keep the moisture up so it’s easy for them to slip off the skin. It’s all about keepin them humid. You could also try a humidity box, something just big enough for them 2 crawl into with a few moist, not drippin wet paper towel. My 2 corns have never had a prob, my ball has a little difficult time, but we’re working on it.

STILL NOT EATING!!! OVER TWO WEEKS!
So here she is in her tub, pretty much ignoring the pinkie, she acts interested at first then doesnt want anything to do with it. This is also the smallest pinkie I could find, I think its a little bloated from the warm water.

I’ve found it best to feed at night. Then it’s dark and quiet, and your snake can be undisturbed for hours.
