i can only tell you from my experience.
im a first time owner too, i got a baby pb a few months ago. its only probably 3.5 months old now.
ill say a couple of things.
93 ambient air in the air with a heat mat would be too much for my snake.
he wont sit in the warm hide more than half an hour if its above about 91., and the ambient air for the whole enclosure is always around 75@night, 78@day. constant 91 on heat mat.
anyway, he eats wonderfully.
he'll eat from my hand, off my hand, i can be holding him and just dangle a mouse infront of him and he'll take it and consume it while he's wrapped around my arm for example, no problem. and for 3.5 months old i think thats pretty tame.
make sure the food is hot enough. the only time my snake wont take something is if its not warm enough. its as simple as putting it back in hot water (in a bag) for 30 seconds so its very warm to the touch.. obviously not too hot, but you have to consider that the mouse, depending on its size, can lose most of that heat in seconds. so if its more than 30 or 40 seconds before i get it to the snake i often gotta reheat :p
try and get a couple of pics of your enclosure. your temps are probably fine and maybe my guy just likes it cooler than most. buts its worth checking and perhaps switching them a bit to see how he reacts.
