Hi, I'm not a regular poster here, I'm sure one will chime in. If you've had this snake since Nov 21st, and tried all of the methods you listed, maybe you've just stressed it too much. I'd let it be for a week, then try feeding it overnight, in a small round deli container. I appreciate all you're trying to do here, but sometimes you have to take a step back and look at the big picture. Are you handling the snake when you try to feed it? (stress) Are you moving it to a new container? (stress) Are you tease feeding? (stress)
I would let it go for a week, and then try again. Try to be as delicate as possible. You will get to the point of the snake feeding from tongs, maybe just not right now.
Hope that helps,
Joe
PS- you can also try taking the water dish out for a couple of days, then offering a pinkie that is wet. Sometimes that will stimulate a feeding response.
