Leave the poor snake alone! If you got it to eat, be happy with that, he will be good for awhile, if he can live 2 months without eating, he will last more than 3 days on a meal. Try again in a week or two

Geeze, just leave the snake alone. This is a case of someone who didn't take the time to learn basic husbandry before getting into keeping venomous and wants to play with their new toy too much to the point that they're hurting the health of the animal.
