patience first off ,is a virtue they say, but i know it can be hectic for parent concerned for your little guy .
but if he doesnt eat for a while there is always repti-aid mix with a feeding syringe as a last resort
that will keep him going until he developes an appetite
or you could take him to a vet if yyour really concerned
hope this helps

Put the pinky into a brown paper sack and then place your boa in the sack. Fold the top off the sack several times so your guy can't get out and then put back into his caging. Come back in a few hours and check. Rarely, I will leave them in overnight but this usually always works. If nothing else, I take a very small pinky and assist feed until they are up on their own. No need to worry yet.

What are the temps at? How do you control and check them? I didn't see it mentioned, and a few degrees too low can make a difference with appetite.

The paper bag method mentioned works too.
