Answers:

Snakes are easy to maintain for the simple fact that you do not have to feed them daily. Your snake will not eat for a while, then it will and then it won't for another while. It is unlikely that your snake is dead. Snakes like to laze around and you'll only see it move occasionally. Have fun;)

Corn snakes do not eat until they have shed once. If the snake is not moving or is lying upside down, then the worst has happened.

are you applying the proper lighting and environment

did he come from a store or breeder with a warrenty

wild caughts have a low survival rate

look up Herpitilogical soceity in your area or online for other help

Actually some cornsnakes do eat before their first shed. Corns shed almost immediately after hatching, I think at a month old it will have shed by now!

Also, raw egg!? Are you serious? 0_o And corns do NOT need UV rays!
