Really hard to say from only the info described. My first thoughts were you are stressing him out and not giving him time to adjust by force feeding him and trying to help him goto the bathroom. Again, I don't know the whole story.. maybe that needed to be done, but to me it sounds a little too soon.



Things to try? Good advice so far. Live fuzzy (or w/e size) overnight is always good. Try a mouse or rat. I would also suggest leaving him alone. Trying to get it to eat often can stress out more then just leaving it alone.



What kind of setup? Shoebox is it in a rack? Try adding a hide for it if it doesn't have one. You said you tried raising the temps to high 80's.. make sure it has a low side as well. Leave him be for a few weeks and stop messing with him. Try and feed once a week and leave him be.



I am sorry to hear about your problems with him. Spiders are very cool snakes. Goodluck with him, hopefully he'll kick in soon.
