 What is going on with the snake !

I swear this is the strangest snake ever, I had him and for 3 weeks he didn’t eat... Then one day i get all excited because he eats a little tiny mouse that really wasn’t even worth the effort and now i try to feed him again and he wont eat... AGAIN. He is a VRB and his temps are 82(F) and the humidity is at 63%. Honestly i don’t know whats going on with him. And what is really weird is that i actually had to stress him out to make him eat the first mouse he took down for me... I had to push him out of his paper towel roll and stick his head next to the food for about a min and then he ran into his house and came out later to eat it. But listen to this... All the times i leave him alone and not touch him he just puts his head next to it and don’t eat it... i don’t get it. Next Sunday it will be 6 weeks and all he had to eat in those 6 weeks would be a little tiny tiny mouse that couldn’t have possibly have done him any good. Honestly i don’t know what else to do. ANY suggestions at all to what is going on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ozzy.

Ok maybe im going crazy but what is a VRB? If you meant to put BRB I can tell you exactly why she or he isnt eatting...Its because your Humidity is only at 63%. Babies need to have it at least 85%+ Humidity. Get back to me on this. I had a BRB not eat for 3 months because my humidity wasnt right and temps were to hot. PM me if needed.

Ohh, your temps might be a bit high. rainbows are different then other boas and pythons. 83 in warm side is ok but i’d have an area of lower 70s. have the tank between low 70s to high 70s. i wouldnt go higher then 85....pro rainbow boas correct me if im wrong.
