I would be getting him to the vet and the bopping them on the head will stress them out more. Put it this way if you got slap in the face with a steak would you still be hungery or pissed off? If your having problem feeding the last thing you want to do is stress them out.
dragunov.762 meant well (i heard this before too), but it's just bad advice. My guess would be whatever the oval is this is why he won't eat. A picture would really help. P.S. i am not picking on dragunov.762. I was given this advice myself before, and i tried it. It got me bit and a snake that went 2 more months before it eat.

True,
What I mean by him looking like an oval is that hes getting really skinny. Sorry for the confusion. Thankyou for the advice, I was kind of worried about ticking my snake off like that and him doing the same to me, but I figured I'd try anyways (no offense dragunov.762, I think your advice is pretty good too ^^ I'm just really nervous about my snake biting me when i try to feed him)
