That will just add more stress
and isnt advised. If your husbandry is on point and all the other needs are being met then wait another week without touching your BP. Start with going through your husbandry and make sure you have enough hides, re check temps, and humidity. If your positive that's all good then you just have to wait for it to settle in and make sure your feeding the same thing as it ate before.

Sigh.. Okay.

If you have an hatchling do this to a T https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-hatchling-101

A 30 gallons tank is an adult tank, you want to provide optimal security have your animal feed for you a few times in an OPTIMAL seltup before adjusting the size of the enclosure to something bigger again and you want to do so progressively.

Boiling water usually ends up cooking the mouse,using warm to room temp water is best

Aside from what Deborah mentioned above, you definitely don't want to use boiling water. Snakes don't eat cooked food.

Also, what size prey are you offering?

How big is your cage?
