i took him to the vet during the time he wasnt eating and they couldnt find anything wrong with him. they did give him an antibiotic "just in case" aka "just so u can pay us for something" smh. Hes shed once since ive had him and it was a good shed. Also had mites but got rid of those and hes mite free right now.

There is nothing wrong with him aside from the lack of security due to the enclosure being way to large for an animal that size.
Address the husbandry issue I pointed out the optimum setup for the time being in my previous post, give your BP a week to settle in it's new environment and your BP should be back on track in no time. 
Additionally I would suggest to find another vet, you just don't give antibiotics to an animal just in case

I didn't plan on going back there. There's two in my area and the other one said it would be 3-4 weeks until they got me in because the doc was out of the office. Smh I was quite pissed about that. But thanks everyone for your help.

I would double check husbandry. Then I would offer a live rat pup (eyes closed so he can't harm your snake), in his tank. Put in it in the evening, and leave it there and leave your snake be. Odds are, it will be gone in no time. Worked for one we got (possibly to young), that wasn't eating great. Now she is ruthless come feed time.

They can swallow surprisingly large objects with little effort.
