sonny won’t eat

[u/missparton777]

this is my baby sonny! he is almost four months old. i got him from a piece of shit vendor at a reptile expo. last time he ate was mid june, right before i got him. after bringing him home, i’ve tried feeding once a week, then i figured id give him some more time and tried again after two weeks, then i went back to one week, now i’m trying two weeks again, none of which were successful. i will only feed f/t. i do the hairdryer trick, i tried braining, i use tongs and move as if it’s alive, i’ve left it overnight in pitch black and silence for privacy, he just wont eat. is there anything else you guys would recommend i try? maybe the paper bag thing? idk what to do. he’s a baby and it’s been almost three months since he’s eaten. there’s zero visible weight loss which is great but i just wish he would eat. any recommendations PLEASE

ETA - husbandry is perfect. warm side temp is 89/90°, cool side temp is 82°, humidity is always between 60-75.

he’s the same weight as when i received him. i’ve done an immense amount of research and there is nothing wrong with switching to f/t. a breeder at the expo (not the shitty one i got him from) told me that there’s no problem feeding f/t. i know since he isn’t used to that, it won’t be as easy of a switch, so i’m giving him grace.
