What is the snake symbolic of in The Epic of Gilgamesh?
Death and the new life that comes fron it
_________________
Well, really, there is nothing to suggest that the snake symbolizes anything. The episode where the snake steaks Gilgamesh's magic plant while he is bathing serves two purposes. The main one is probably to emphasize the futility of the hero's search for immortality. This aspect of the story is similar to other ancient tales in which human adventurers loose out on their chance of immortality by making silly but costly mistakes. The second purpose is likely to be aetiological. That is, the story explains why snakes are able to shed their skins and apparently rejuvenate.

How often does the snake plant bloom?
I had a snake plant for 45 years, and it bloomed twice, with only 1 flower stalk each time. I moved to a different house and the first two years it bloomed. The first time it had 7 stalks and the second year it had 5. I put it outside in the summer (but I always did), but this time it faced south, and there was a porch overhang. We'll see what it does this year, the 3rd year after the move.

The most logical explanation could be that she is beginning a shed. Many snakes go off food for that time. If that is the case, there are no real concerns and all should reestablish on its normal pattern when she is finished. She should have the appropriate humidity to properly do this with ease.
Check her hydration. Give her a good soak in the tub massaging her middle toward the vent.
If she were bred anytime this season, she could be pregnant. Weights should be accurately measured every other week to ensure she is not losing much if any weight.
Parasites could be the issue. This is more likely if you feed live or f/kzperiodz Frozen feeders are said to be parasite free concerning the temps they are kept in. A fecal test will answer that question.
If it is male, it could be simply because he would like to hibernate if it is near winter or winter where you are. If it is female, it can still be because they want to hibernate but its most likely males are the one that would like to hibernate most.
Also, snakes do not always eat weekly. They may go off food at times. If your fecal check comes back clear, keep offering, she will eat when ready.
I know that my Ball Pythons and my Burmese Python can go around a year without eating and still be okay. Don't worry too much about her not wanting to eat at the moment. If she goes around a month and seems to not want to feed, I would call the local vet and see if they can just do a quick check for you. My Balls don't really want to eat during the months of November-Feburary. They are great eaters otherwise. They get to were they sleep most of the time during those months and I get them out weekly to check on them. My Burmese will eat any time you put food in with him. I hope this helped you a little bit.
How fast can a corn snake slither?
My Corn Snake is quite slow, normally moving in a zig-zag pattern when moving in an open area, frequently stopping to 'sense the air'. I dare say if he was feeling threatened he would move much faster, probably in a straight line ! You can see a video clip of him moving on youtube, under corn snake slither.
