    First off, is the mouse dead? If it is dead, then go ahead and remove it. You can freeze it if it is dead and save it for another time if it hasn't been dead for to long.

    I'd just kill the mouse and leave it in there for a few hours.

    Take your bp out of the cage and leave it in a safe place, then wait for the mouse to die or kill it by yourself.

    Hi,

    Your snake is still stressed as you said.

    Those sound like defensive strikes.

    I would take the mouse out and kill it humanely. You could then leave it in the snakes enclosure overnight but I don't think it will eat it.

    Leave the snake alone for another week then try offering again.

    I take it the snake was previously eating live before you got it?

    I agree with this completely. I doubt it will eat sounds like defencive strikes. Take the mouse out.
