You did not mention if you had a hide in the cage, and that would be very important. I see two things I think you are doing that could easily be delaying voluntary feeding with this green. I would definitely stop the force-feeding as this is extremely stressful, and can easily cause this snake to never feed voluntarily. The other would be to not move it to another enclosure for feeding. Greens are very shy and this handling and movement to another unit can easily keep it off feed. I would only interact with it when absolutely necessary until it starts feeding. Once a week, leave f/t chicks in the cage just before lights out and leave overnight. Live chicks would be best if possible, but I know that is not feasible for many. Do not have any other unnecessary contact with it at this time. If in good health, it could easily go 6 months without feeding before it becomes an issue. Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.
