Refusing to eat.

Tonight,
cut up a few worms into chunks. Put it in a lid or something small. Put it under the hide at lights out time. See if any are gone in the morning. Make sure the chunks are small enough that they don't crawl out of the lid you use.
Just another idea for you to try. Hope it helps.

The weather has been cold today but for the past two weeks has been around seventy degrees all day. I have had him for a month and still can't get him to eat .

It was warm enough for snakes to be active outside, and he won't eat. So why didn't you release him? You took this snake home because you were concerned about him not surviving outside in the cold. Well I can tell you that the species as a whole has survived just fine without our help. I can also say that around 80% of the babies do not survive their first winter. No big deal. 50% of the survivors die every year thereafter. However, around 100% of snakes that won't eat in captivity eventually die.

He could have already had a safe place to spend the winter, just mere feet from where you found him. His not eating could be because he's probably ready to brumate. The heat you're providing at this point, is only speeding up the rate at which he burns calories, and therefore making him lose weight faster. Not trying to make you feel bad, your heart is in the right place, but I don't think there was a need to interfere in the first place.
