You need a basking spot around 90-95 an ambient temp around 80-85 and a cool spot around 75-80 in the enclosure.
Try feeding frogs, lizards, crickets, pinky mice etc one of them may work.
If you are new to keeping snakes I would suggest letting the racer go and getting a cornsnake.

Good like with the Racer, you've got him/her to eat so you must be doing something right.

P.S. Some people just think they can tell everyone what to do.
