try blacking out a crix tub, or using a simalar dark opawue tub, and putting him in there, after 24 hours, put the pinkie in, but done let him see you. check on him 6 hours later, and remove the pinkie if he dont take.

Ok I think you have tried a LOT of methods in short time. id reccomend putting him somewhere dark for a week at least and leaving him completely alone. Just make sure he has water. Dont handle or poke or anything. Then try warming his food and wiggling it in front of his nose. I think sometimes people panic and stress them by trying too hard.

I've got a young sand boa that hasnt eaten for about 6 months until 2night. I didn't try force feeding it or any of those other methods, just kept offering and waiting for him 2 eat. 2nite he finally did eat which is great. He barely lost any weight at all during his fast.
