Ashoka finally ate!! I warmed him up to 95f-85f daytime, took out most of the substrate (just barely covering him), and let him shed. His shed was pretty bad, so i gave him a small bowl with soggy paper towels that he spent most of the day in. Then i mad sure he was well hydrated. After 3 days i took a pinky and placed it almost on top of his head. He got angry and burrowed, so i pulled him out (it was my last pink and i was determined). I had wrapped the pink in an old shed from my ball python while it thawed, trying to barely change the smell. I put ashoka in a deli cup and teased him with the pink until he got mad enough to bite it a few times. He finally coiled on it...finally!
I carefully covered the deli cup and put it in a dark place.
A half hour later i came back and he was fatter and the mouse was gone!
Luckily he kept it down too, i was worried.
After he eats again i am going to bump him up to a bigger kritter keeper so he can have a better gradient and a bit more room.

I wanted to thank EVERY ONE who replied to my post. It was definately a help!
Much thanks, jen (and ashoka)
