I agree that since the snake is taking the second pink you have a good chance that it will start eating on it's own. They do have a sense of smell through their noses, it's just not a sophisticated as their Jokobsen's Organ (the organ that collects scents from the tongue).
Also, make sure he has clean water at all times. I have seen snakes that could not use their tongues because of dehydration or the tongue sheath being glued closed with mucous because of a respiratory infection. I'm not saying that's his problem, just that it's best to keep him well hydrated just in case.
