I need help with my coastal he not eating . His temps are hot end 38. - cool end 28 . Lights off at night . In summer only . He last successfully feed in May . Try in June threw it back up. Try again a week later with temps raised wasn't interested at all have been able to get him to feed since . I have try feeding him out on the grass which normal works after I let him sun him self for a half hr to 45 minutes . I have try feeding him in his enclosure . Stapling the head of the rat. He has been check for mites and enclosure treated anyway . He is due to worming but I can't get food down him and can't find a worming product I can put in his water. He has lost some body weight and has a yellowish look to his under belly. He also feels soft when handling him. His breathing is normal . :(
 
problem with your temp, you got 2 hot ends there. hot should be 32-33, cool below 25-26. and give him some heating at night too - ceramic bulb or heat cord.
 
Thanks after adjusting my temps how long until u think a can try and feed him again. And should adjusting the temp improve the yellow on his belly or dies that mean something else?

Are you sure he is an Olive? Water pythons are yellow on the belly. how long have you had the animals?
