I am basing this on the assumption you feed in a separate enclosure, it should work for his normal cage too though.

I would try the following:

Clean his cage, water, and etc. lightly.

Leave him completely alone for 2-3 days before following the rest of the steps.

Thaw your snakes prey in warm water.

Don't try and "heat" the prey with the water, just thaw it.

*WASH YOUR HANDS IF YOU HANDLE THE PREY BEFORE PROCEEDING*

Place you're snake in his feeding enclosure.

In the room you intend to feed your snake in, use a blow dryer near the feeding tank, this will spread the scent and warm the creature.

At this point he should be moving about smelling the mouse/rat.

Using tongs/pliers drag the mouse back and forth against the far wall, like it's trying to escape. You can also explore the other sides and generally get closer to the snake.

If all goes well he should hit it and have dinner.


Do this all slowly, don't rush it at all. You're snake may sit for 20 minutes and have 0 interest, but hopefully the above will entice him into munching.
