    PLEASE DO NOT try assist feeding this poor snake again. You are causing WAY more damage than good. Leave the snake COMPLETELY alone for a week and try offering again. If the snake doesn't eat try again in a week. Repeat...
    NO HANDLING during this time. Wait til the snake is eating consistently before handling. You'll have this snake 20+ years, plenty of time for handling.

    There are 2 major reasons snakes don't eat 1) is husbandry and 2) is stress.
    Your husbandry sounds pretty good, but did I read that there is only 1 hide?? You need 2.
    So, now the obvious answer is STRESS!!! Leave the snake COMPLETELY alone so he can relax and get comfortable. A scared, stressed snake will NOT eat, and you've got yourself a scared, stressed snake.
    What he said...Perfectly stated and spot on!
