    How long have you had him?

    Are you handling him? How often?

    Has he EVER fed for you? How many times, if so?

    What did the seller feed him? (Exactly- type of rodent, live or dead? etc) What exactly are you offering him?

    Are you feeding the exact same food?

    What are the temperatures (lowest & highest) in his tank. Are all heat sources controlled by thermostat?

    How large was his previous home? What did the seller/previous owner keep him in? (50 gal. is HUGE for a young BP)

    Is his home in a quiet room, or do you & others walk by frequently?

    Do you have other pets- are they ever near him? What are they?

    Have you tried covering the back & sides of the tank, & part of the front.

    When did he shed last?

    Is this your first snake? How are you offering the prey? (do you use feeding tongs, do you warm the prey if dead? etc)

    Perhaps he's a mind-reader & doesn't like being called a turd?
