: i have a hatchling rat snake that i couldnt get to eat for a while like you i couldnt force feed it he would spit it outi had to cut the pinkies into thirds to make it small enough for him to eat and pushed it down his throat with tweesers(don't use a sharp object it could hurt the snake). another trick i tried with another snake and was very successful was to put a small green tree frog in with it, as soon as he saw it he gulped it down. good luck

: when all else fails call a vet
