HELP!

Ok, little guy still hasn't eaten. I've tried live hoppers, the temps are 75-85, humidity around 60%, what am I doing wrong? He's in a 10g, 3 sides of the tank covered to make it more secure, aspen substrate. I've tried feeding him in a separate, smaller container. I really don't know what to do. Other than not eating, he seems perfectly healthy.

Should I bring him somewhere? Does anyone know of any vets in MA/NH who specialize in reptiles?

I'm really fond of this snake and I'm really worried. He is definitely getting thin; I can feel his spine more than I should be able to. His skin isn't looking loose yet or anything like that,... But I've never had a snake go this long without eating before....
