    I just went back through this thread and saw this. I know you're offering more frequently because he's not eating at the moment, but STOP. Boas should not ever be fed more than once every 7-10 days. Many breeders won't even feed brand new neonates more than every 10 days. You are stressing him out by offering so often. Remember, boas are not ball pythons!

    Wait a full 10 days before trying again and leave him alone completely during this time. Let him de-stress and get comfortable in his environment. When you offer after 10 days, try a live mouse fuzzy and leave it in there like I suggested before. UNLESS he has something very wrong with him, he will eat - I guarantee it....
