Adult milksnake not eating

I got this adult milksnake from the narbc,he ate the second day when I got him on February 15 a thawed adult mice.He won't eat at all! He did go through a shed phase and shedded on 3/11/2014,tonight I tried to feed him again but he refused X/. I did move him to a 40 gallon with two hideouts the temps at 70-80 and humidity at again 70-80% with a heat mat. Should I let him get adjust to his new enclosement? Or should I try live mice? I sound like a rookie but I do own a spider Bp and a amazon tree boa with zero feeding problems even in shed they eat no matter what.

Re: Adult milksnake not eating

Why do you have such high humidity? The highest humidity for milks to my knowledge is about 40%..

What is your hot spot at? Pics of your enclosure will help too. You need 5 posts to post pics though.

Re: Adult milksnake not eating

What kind of milk snake is it? Humidity sounds like it is to high. Temps may be to low. as has been said, lets see picture of the enclosure. Your experience so far has been with exotic snakes and not colubrids. They have different requirements.
