If that fails as well, then u might have to consider assist-feeding. Gently but firmly hold ur snake's head by the sides and pop a small-sized chick or mouse into its mouth by gently nudging it in slowly or prying open the mouth with smtg like a small stick first.Pop the head of the chick or mouse into the snake's mouth and let it clamp. If u're lucky, it will get the cue and start swallowing. Attempt this several times more. IOf it fails, then u'll have to force feed. If done properly it's not a bad thing. Let me know if it works if not i'll explain how to force-feed.
