I have two corn snakes, the white one seems to eat fine, and every week, however, im worried about the red one, she hasnt eaten in two weeks, she just wont eat, now i try feeding them again, and i noticed that the red one is shedding, she just got to the stage where here eyes and skin are noticibaly bluish, but her nose hasnt split yet, is she gonna be ok without food for another couple of days, i tried feeding her anyways, she didnt take it
 
She probably won't eat until after she sheds (she might though, corns can be feisty eaters). I have had trouble getting yearlings to eat a few times, but it usually passes with time (this is usually associated with their first meal). I would not be to worried about it if she has eaten a few times already. Wait till after she sheds and thenm present a small mouse to her, I bet she takes it.

I only feed my corns every 10 days. A little more often for younger snakes (once a week about).
 
wait for the snake to shed and then try feeding it. if it doesnt eat after that try putting it in a paper bag with a fuzzy. my redtail boa wouldnt eat and after i went to the petstore they told me to do that and it worked. good lucK!
