I have read and also have seen with my copperheads that too high of temp can discourage feeding. Try a little cooler. Maybe 78-80 in day and 65-68 at nite. These guys don't like too much heat usually. Also, give it at least a week between feeding attempts. Trying over and over to offer it food seems to make them become uninterested. Is the snake skinny looking?
