Hello..well they need some 90 degrees of warmth all the time..in some spot or another and have to have rodent or small lizards to eat..doesn't have to be mice or rats %26 they can eat anything that is twice the width of their heads ..if it's a baby or small, they also eat bugs..like beetles, crickets, etc ..DO NOT FEED LIVE RODENTS once they get past eating fuzzies tho, or the rodent often bites the snake ..they also need a soaking / water dish, one they can get into %26 soak in if they wish, also check for mites, little bugs that get under the scales, specially if he's scratching on things alot, then you have to bathe them in a warm bucket or bath tub of water..tho many snakes like a good swim which can help increase their appetites as well, if it's mites, you have to remove all bedding, use no bedding - snakes don't really need it, clean %26 soak anything you have in his cage @ least once a week for a few weeks in HOT water, completely submerge it for about an hour @ least, also spray %26 wipe his habitat thoroughly, specially corners...never use laundry, bleach or detergents tho ..Force feeding is not good to do %26 should ONLY be done by ...experts or vets !! Take Care :)
it shouldnt be eating pinkys it should be eating small mice.
Usually in this case, force-feeding is needed. Can you get your animal to a reptile specialist? They can show you how to do this procedure (it isn't any fun.)
Get some young mice, take out hs water and set the temperature up by a few degrees. Leave it for a day. Put the mouse inside, if he doesn't take it, you'll need to get it force-fed.
