I agree with Hillbilly, make sure your temps and humidity are correct. The cool end of the cage needs to be in the low to mid 80's and the hot spot should be in the low 90's. The humidity should be 40% to 60%. If all is correct, I would try getting him to eat a live or stunned rat. Once you get him eating again try rubbing the frozen/thawed rat on a live rat. This is called "scenting" and it usually works pretty good. When we have done this in the past our rats freak out wondering why we are rubbing dead rats on them. HaHa



I think the main difference between a f/t rat and a live rat is the smell and by scenting the f/t rat it will smell more inviting to the snake.
