(obviously still a NEED for the warm side, but just that your snake isn't using it as you said).
I think all of those changes are consistent with your snake refusing food.

I struggle with the humidity for mine as well. We have a mini humidifer that we got from Wal-Mart for about $20-$40 situation beside the glass tank for the winter, when it gets really dry. You can always switch to different substrate to hold humidity better (sorry, I forget which is best for this, as I use aspen right now - and should also switch). I mist a few times a day as well. You can also have a shed box filled with damp sphagnum moss, as said above. I really like that because the moss is cheap and expands like 5-10 times its original size, and lasts a long time!!

Good luck :) and just keep trying with the food!

no poop no food,really? Cause I have my guy 4 week and he's ate 7 times and is barely pooping...only two times since I've had him and a possible third ..so youths gateman I can't say is 100% accurate

^ Sorry, I don't understand your question.
But maybe it was sarcastic.
At any rate, I've had my BP a few weeks and he's eaten about as many times as yours, and I haven't found any feces yet. I'm not worried, I know it's coming (they were smaller than usual meals as well). Then there's my corn who sh*ts like clockwork.

I was just saying to the OP that the reason there are no poops coming out is because there is no food going in :) in case you didn't pick up on that!

Also for a tank/display try using cypress mulch instead of paper towels. It resists mold better than aspen and really helps bump up the humidity. I use it for my Brazilian Rainbow Boas which need to be over 75% humidity for adults and around 90% for hatchlings.
