Make sure you are misting or spraying a few times a week and are keeping it hydrated. Give it plenty of branches, if you haven't already, so it feels comfortable. If you haven't, I would treat it for parasites, just in case it is wild-caught and has something that may be making it sick. Try to make the snake strike by tapping it's tail or head, if it strikes it should hold on. And try feeding it at night. If all fails, try scenting a mouse with a lizard of some sort. If that doesn't work you may have to feed it lizards until it can be switched over.
