Hi Billy
Welkom to the world of "funny eaters". When working with European and some Asian ratsnakes You will find that some of them don`t work as a clock. Refusing food for months even years (like some of my situla) can happen, and the worst thing to do is to panic. I think I have about 30 adults, that only feeds in the absolut early spring and nothing more that year. Sometimes I can get a little and very small food items in them in the Autum, and especially something without a strong smell. I use a lot of Natalmice, for the tricky eaters. They absolutely prefers them to laboratory mice and rats. Wild mice are also used after a month in the freezer.
I don`t think that it will help chancing the humidity. I tried it also from stone dry to a swamp without any good results. Lovering the temperature would be better. Kunasir climacophora lives in a quite cold climate.
I havent found any wetherstation near Kunasir but this one isn`t that far away http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/47489.html
64*F today :-}
Maybe that site could give you an idea on what temperature they should kept.
I hope that will help you
Best wishes
