Have you tried African rats? That may be an option to try. I believe they're called African Soft Furred Rats. Also, have you tried taking him to a vet to see if something is wrong? One of my bp was a TERRIBLE eater, months without eating, until I took him to the vet and found out he's basically blind(possibly had his head closed in a door) and has an old back injury(probably stepped on). He looks completely normal. Acts basically normal, you'd never know something was wrong(he's a rescue). I have to "over heat" his food(med rats) and even then it was iffy, went through that for years, then I ran across an article suggesting cleaning right before feeding. And now I can reliably get him to eat if I do BOTH. Point is, try all simple options first. Force feeding is stressful and should be a very last resort. Definitely sounds like you're willing to try anything. So try the cleaning and extra warming. It sounds simple after all this trouble, but it MIGHT just be something simple. Snakes are so weird sometimes, but they're worth it
