a very good friend of mine has 20 anacondas. Some of which are the pickiest eaters Ive ever heard of or even wanted to deal with. He has an anery green anaconda that he has to force feed. A few tricks he has tried along the way, provide hide boxes, perhaps try feeding it in water, try small chicks or quail. be patient and if needed, see a vet. Or, what else seems to work, you will probably need a friend to help, force the snakes mouth open, put the food in its mouth. Sometimes the taste will get them going on their own. However, you do need to be careful, if not done carefully the snake can be seriously injured, so take caution if it comes down to that. Anacondas and ball pythons seem to be the most difficult eaters out there.
