    He needs a temperature gradient - 32 c (I think, if my conversion is right) for the warm end, about 27 on the cool end.

    Other than that, you've had the guy for 4 days. Leave him alone another week and try again. Don't handle him, don't stress him, make sure he's got the temp gradient and husbandry is good (one hide on each end, not too much empty space) and leave him alone. If he skips a week or even a month, it's not gonna hurt him. They take time to acclimate to new places.

    How old (or how big) is your snake?

    How long since its last meal?

    What type/size prey is being offered?

    What type and size of enclosure does it live in?

    What are you using as substrate? If it has depth, how deep is it?

    What type of heating do you use?

    Do you use a thermostat to control temperatures?

    What do you use to measure/monitor temperatures?

    Is water readily available at all times?

    Does the snake live alone or does it share the enclosure with anything else?

    How often and for how long is the snake typically handled?

    Does the snake have any medical history (old injuries or illnesses)?

    Do you have any other reptiles? Have you brought in any new reptiles recently?

    Is there anything specific or unique about your situation that we should be aware of?
