won't eat, other feeding options?

Hey guys, I posted a few weeks ago about my gtp I had just gotten. To make a long story short The snake would not eat which I wasn't too worried about because I assumed he was stressed. Next it sounded like he was coming down with an RI which I also wasn't surprised about as the weekend of the show was really cold and raining so that plus being moved could have caused it.

I didn't visit the vet because there was no mucus or bubbling but did try the F10 trick and he isn't holding his head up anymore but I still can't tell whether he's wheezing or letting out a small hiss. On snakes with RI's, do they wheeze constantly while just perched and breathing normally? he only sounds odd when I mist him or open the tank which leads me to believe its just a small hiss.

Anyway, he just shed two days ago and the RI, if thats what is was, seems gone and he still hasn't eaten, I have had him for a month now with no luck. He just hides his head or tries to get away. Can I try a chick? I also contemplated putting a decently plump green anole in there to just hang out for a couple days to see if he eats that at some point during the night. Any suggestions?
