Great shots and info!!
does he ever go off feed or in spells..? What about around shed and how many times has he shed for you?
i ask because he seems similar in size an age to my mandarin who I know is a diff type and all but his behaviors and actions sound a lot like jack. He was eating weekly and up to two large pinks or small fuzzies then just stopped. He shed over the weekend and he’s back to being all active but still won’t eat.
He will defensively strike the food but then run. I leave it for him like I used to and notta
hoping he just needs to shake the shed cobwebs and get back to it

He's never missed a meal, even in shed. I don't keep track of sheds since it's a thing they'll do whether you like it or not, but I'd say around 6 times since October maybe? :S I'm just guessing.
I think mandarins require a lot of cover and hides in order to feel secure enough to eat, kind of like ball pythons, especially young ones. You mention yours is all active, which might be a sign that he is feeling insecure in his setup and is looking for a place to hide or burrow. I'm pretty sure mandarins normally hide most of the day, like ball pythons.
russian rat snakes are more easy and bold snakes in that they don't particularly need hides and "cover" and will eat anyway, even hatchlings.
