If you say you're planning to move in a few weeks and will be there for awhile, I don't see the difference between that or sending him to live somewhere else.

I would be more concerned with the fact that interstate transport of retics will likely be prohibited by the time you make the move out of state.
I'm hoping by then they'll be removed, but of they aren't then I'll find a place to live here. It's not happening any time soon. There are also breeders that are allowed to ship out of state so maybe I could find one if it comes to that and see if they'll ship her to my new place. Then again, I'm not sure if those exceptions are only temporary.

That's what bi-weekly is, he was fed every 2 weeks. I offer food to him on a variety of weekly and bi-weekly schedules now that he's fasting. I'm trying just mice at the moment, but he just isn't interested. He's losing so much weight I don't feel comfortable just waiting him out.

Your snake looks okay to me. It sounds like you're just feeding FT and will be trying live. I'm sure when you offer live he'll be fine.

Have you tried anything besides rats or mice? Some of them like things like chicks and/or quails. I've had a couple on fasts who I offered an FT chick to and it got them going again.

Try something different like a FT chick. Then if that doesn't work, do live for a few months to get him going again and gaining some weight.

I definitely wouldn't rehome him yet. He's not doing terrible at all. You clearly are attached to him, and honestly, you're probably far more frustrated and affected than he is by this.
Yes I haven't seen so much as a urate in a few weeks. He's been clear of feces for awhile now. On top of that, he's losing visible body tone which is why I weighed him last night, he looked even worse than at the beginning of the month. He last shed July 5, he's not due for one for at least another month or two, he only sheds every 3-4 months.

No I did have some frozen chickens but they died from a possible bacterial infection so I didn't feel comfortable feeding them. I've only tried mice and rats so far.
