how large /old is this snake, hard to answer without that info, older snakes sometimes wont eat but once in a couple of few weeks, so in a short 4 months 5 times aint terrible, they are totally opportunistic feeders, to often can be as bad as well, the average is every 10-14 days, they wont hit if its not good cage condition, it sounds like your temps good, humiditys ok, i would get it a bit higher at night, get a cheap humidifier from your drugstore, put a timer on it. do you have cross vents in the cage or is it an aquarium(bad), all of these things should be looked at, tummy piching works sometimes, tail poking(the snake) try not to touch the snakes face as it can scare it, just keep it a few inches in front of its face, annoying the snake enough almost always does the trick, i have some little neonates that are a project to feed, go to http://www.bigappleherp.com get a pinky pusher in the husbandry section if forcing the food is a must,d
