How big is your snake?

How big is your enclosure?

What are your exact temps? What do you use to measure them?

How tight are your hides?

How often have you been handling him?
I just saw the 2-3 weeks that he's been with you.

I also saw your other post where you have been taking pictures with him and handling, etc.

From the pictures, I agree with Deborah - it's important to getting him eating.

I think you need to make some adjustments to your tank and then leave him alone for a little bit, let him settle, and then do not handle, etc. until you he eats a few meals.

Basic for a tank:

Proper temps taken at the ground with a temp gun.

All heat devices thermostat controlled.

Proper humidity - which as Bogertophis mentioned, heat lamps will make difficult, especially if not being controlled and providing proper temps - in other words too hot = faster evaporation.

2 Hides minimum. Snug and the same hide on both sides. Boba should not have to pick security over proper temps.

I've made the mistake of handling and being excited and not following protocol for a new animal. You will have him for a long time and have plenty of time to bond. Get him on track first. Learn from others' mistakes.
