Hi,

Since my male died i recently got at new male of Boiga Dendrophila Gemmicincta. He was smaller than my other male (only about 60 cm) but othervise looked alert and maybe a little skinny but nothing seríous.
I fed him 5 days after getting him home and he ate 3 small mouse jumpers from forceps.
Since i have not been able to get him to feed. About a month now and he is beginning to look a little skinny and not being so alert anymore and he quickly runs out of energy.
I think i have tried just about anything.
I tried mice and rats in various sizes (The only petstore dealing with small lizards, frogs etc has been closed due to relocation - opens next thursday so of course i go there to se what i can find).
I tried feeding from forceps,
in seperate cage,
leaving food in the cage overnight,
leaving food and snake in a box overnight,
moving him to smaller enclosure,
split open the head of the food,
holding behind head and put food in his mouth,
changing day/night temperature

anyone have any sugestion to what i can try? It would be greatly appreciated )

Thank You
