Feeding Problems

The newest to my collection is the most infuriating reptile I have ever kept. I've had feeding problems with Balls before but getting always got them eating again in a reasonable time. All my other snakes are AWESOME feeders, especially my woma.

So here's the deal. Picked up a 2014 male pink pastel anaconda in January, because let's face it, they're cute as hell. He turned down a F/T after a week, so I went with a live pinky the next week. He went about 3 weeks eating every 5 days, then nothing. Nothing changed, same rodent supplier, same cage, substrate humidity, heat, light timers, location, handling etc.

This led me to think possible parasites/bacteria or mouth sore/cut, but a Vet check said no to both. It's now been almost two months, and I've tried everything short of frog legs. Just to list them off... Humidity shifts, check. Heating change check. Moved into smaller tub, check. Scenting with tuna, sardine, frog scent, egg, check check check check check. Not handling for a few days before, check.
deli cup, check.
