    OK, part of the problem is a total lack of security (privacy) in his current set-up as shown: http://i.thinimg.com/img/9kqr.jpg

    Hides must have only ONE doorway, just big enough for the snake (with a meal) to fit thru. Yours are way too open, they offer nothing for him to feel safe.

    Also, you should cover the back & sides of the glass tank with dark paper for privacy, or better yet & while you're at it, use something like corrugated cardboard or
    black foam board to insulate the back & sides (tape on outside of glass) to add privacy.

    Back to basics: what are you using to heat his cage? is it regulated? how? What are the low end & high end (max) temps. in cage (ON substrate where the snake is)?

    Besides just the hides being inadequate, most here have better results with "clutter" in their BP cages: fake plants or driftwood & such things.

    You haven't mentioned measuring his humidity either? Glass tanks need a modification to keep IN the humidity for a BP...you can just cover most of the screen top with
    foil or plexi or most anything that doesn't allow air (& all the moisture) to escape.
