coastal not eating

i got a 7 ft male coastal and he hasnt eaten on his own in three months, he was on rats then he would only eat mice then had to follow with a rat, ive tried quail, rats, mice and ive tried braining and chicken stock aswell, i have him in a large clickclack at around 34 degrees (incase he has somthing) he doesnt have mucous build up in his mouth nor does he have any redness on his gum. now im stumped cos all my other coastals are pigs. any ideas?

maybe he wants some loven. Try putting on some soft background music, barry manilow maybe, light a candle and see what happens.

Seriously, there seems to be a lot of people having feeding problems lately. Maybe he is just having a break from feeding, it happens.

Has he lost much condition?
