If you handle, do not offer the proper prey size or type you will get a refusal again, it can take time to adjust and privacy is imperative including during feeding.

A vet will likely take you on a trip from un-needed prescription to tube feeding (which is never needed with BP)

Fixing your husbandry is not something that works overnight especially when a snake has not ate for so long, the less they eat the longer between meals the more emaciated the more they adjust to it and the more it becomes a viscous circle, this is why you should never wait that long for an hatchling to take a meal.

With hatchlings the more you feed them the more they want to eat the less you feed them the less they want to eat.
Yeah as i said above my husband is going to buy a mouse and we'll try to feed on Friday. Believe me I'm already going crazy about this. Good to know that we shouldn't take him to the vet. I'm seriously trying my best here... It has already been way to long i know but i know I can't change the past so I'm seriously trying not to freak out because of all the crap we didn't do from the start. As i said we'll try alive on friday until then he is in the box with the thick towel on top at 80 - 83 degree.
