The problem is, with out temps, you don't know what the heat gradiant is or if there even is one. You are really just guessing at a warm and a cool without factual data. If your animal is as skinny as you say, and you are as worried as you appear, you need to make sure the husbandry is correct and not guess. If he is to hot, you could very easily be dehydrating the little guy, and dehydrated snakes go off food. If he is to cool and he does eat, then he could have trouble digesting his food and it could spoil in his stomach. Both scenerios can cause death. If you are not willing to double check your husbandry and make sure you are providing the correct temps, then no feeding trick in the world is going to help until the husbandry is corrected.
Just because he did well the first two weeks means nothing except he was well when you got him. Now that he has been in the environment you are providing for a while, he is not doing well. Check the evironment! Check the temps! $10 can get you a decent digital thermomator at Walmart. Not trying to sound harsh, but if you are not willing to do something as simple as making sure he has the correct temps, then he my not be the right pet for you.
Sorry, but there are lots of people on here that would be more than willing to help you out, but you seem unwilling to even answer the simplest and most basic of snake care questions....what are the temps? Just a bee in my bonnet ....sorry for the rant.
