If your not feeding him a live rat maybe you should try it.Also you can try feeding him in the dark.When my baby boas dont eat thats what I do.I put them in the dark with a live rat but I keep a close eye on them just incase.Works like a charm.Alex

I have tried that and will continue to,but he is just not interested in the rat.
