    I say try feeding tonight. Wait til it's dark and feed with nobody else in the room. If the snake is out and about SLOWLY dangle the mouse in front of the snake. Don't scare the snake. If the snake is in a hide, slowly dangle in front of the hide, but again, don't scare the snake.

    If the snake eats, awesome! If not, don't be discouraged. Wait at least 5 days and try again.

    I always advise waiting until the snake eats three consecutive meals without refusal before handling. Top priority is getting the snake eating regularly. You'll have 25+ years to handle the snake. Let it acclimate and get eating.

    Also, I never have any temps above 90 in my enclosures. 92 is a hair on the high end, but nothing unacceptable by any means.

    Lastly, are your heat sources regulated by a thermostat??
