The guy is wrong to feed a 100 gram pinkies mouse or rat. A weanling mouse or fuzzy rat would be better.
20 gallon tank is large for a 100 gram BP. You should try for 2 identical tight fitting hides. Your snake wants something it can barely fit in. Think about it like this. If your snake would sit still for it could you fit the whole snake in the hide. If the answer is just barely, your snake would like that.
How are you keeping your warm side warm? Do you have a thermostat or a rheostat? Ideally your temps should not range at all. The more stable you can get them the better.
The way you worded this it sounds like you have tried to feed multiple times. You should be trying to feed once every 4 or 5 days. What you are seeing as exploratory sounds like stress.
