That's actually a Long story lol but after him losing even more weight in about months time I took him to the vet to get some tests done on him. I had tried live mice, live rats and he would look interested but would never strike just stare at it then eventually go back in his hide and completely ignore it. So after getting tests done and everything coming back clear they recommended assist feeding since I had exhausted all options. I even tried the car ride! So I assist fed him a fuzzy mouse that he actually wrapped up and tried to kill (even though it was already dead) and started taking it down after he got the mouse most of the way down I followed it up with an appropriately sized rat for his size and he swallowed that one down along with the mouse and after he ate he seemed like a totally different snake. Very very alert, and active and didn't even want to go back in his tub when I tried to get him back in there. It was amazing how he transformed so quickly with only one meal. I wanted to cry I was so happy to finally see him eating. I'm just hoping that he will eat on his own this Saturday. The vet was pretty surprised by his weight loss and how he had nothing wrong with him. I'm sure he probably would've starved himself to death if I didn't help him get started again.
