I haven't watched the video but I think you should check your setup. Seems pretty odd that it stopped eating month after you got it.

Re: Warning do not watch if you have a problem with live feeding!
The way it went for that, I would think it would just about eat anything soon as it moved it struck, coiled and rolled. Do you always feed in a separate tank?

Yeah, what are your temps, humidity, how many hides do you have, and enclosure size?

Re: Warning do not watch if you have a problem with live feeding!
Who knew geckos were native to New Jersey and that corn snakes ate them in the wild there?
You should feed live mouse pinks.
Also take the next poop to the vet for a fecal exam. Geckos are not captive bred (that species) and may carry parasites as mentioned already.

Then it's something you did. Who told you gecko's have more protein? Also, why would you want your prey item to have softer bones? If the prey has a more developed skeletal system it will gain much more nutrition. Have you ever felt how soft and malleable a pink it?

Re: Warning do not watch if you have a problem with live feeding!
You may be able to get the guys started with a live small peach fuzzy. It will move around a little more than a pinky, and your guys looks like he is not adverse to striking at prey.

Just don't offer anything but pinkies. The snake can go a long while without food. Eventually it will eat.

Put a pink in his cage over night "he is nocturnal" and see if it is there in the morning with nobody watching.
