Re: milksnake not eating!!!!!!!!
Pretty certain that a UTH should only cover a third of the enclosure but not used them myself.......

It's too big. 18" inch heat pad in a 30" enclosure won't allow for a cool enough cool side.

Just leave it be. It's a new snake and the most important thing right now besides heating/humidty/food and water is leaving it alone for a few weeks. It's not going to settle down in one day.
EDIT: forgot to ask, do you have a thermostat? You need one to control the heating source.

I sent u a message but the crickets ate it. The snake will swallow the whole thing. The snake can't grow without shedding. Has it shed?

That's what i was wondering. I have never heard of feeding a king snake grasshoppers WTF.
Turn the poor thing lose. Then read up and study all the info you can find on them. After all that go by a Captive Bred snake from a breeder.

Re: milksnake not eating!!!!!!!!
Insects are NOT part of any lampropeltis diet I know of.
Cease with the insects, these animals are not insectivores.
