My young BP's are in 10 gallon tanks. They eat fine. I would however do away with the lamp. Just use belly heat. Bring his humidity up for sure. He may just be a picky eater. My female pastel will strike at adult mice but won't take them, but will with hoppers. I think she's intimidated by their size.

Re: just a thought
when Symy was small enough to live in a 10 gallon tank, I had the sides and the back covered (with tin foil), and the front side was covered on the lower portion. I also used a heat lamp and still do, and never had any feeding problems. This coverage makes it feel secure. Your humidity is alright, but make sure your snake can fully soak in it if it needs to. Tubs are cool, but not necessary.
