He won't eat at all? Is he a baby? If he's real little, you really wanna get him to eat SOMETHING, ANYTHING first, even if it's live. Hopper mice are your best bet, because the hopping around is hard for snakes to resist. (warning: hoppers are really cute.) Aaaaaand sometimes they even reject that, and then you have to figure out what to do with the mouse...
If you can get him to eat live, and he's obviously hungry, sometimes you can follow up the live mouse with a nice, freshly-thawed, warmed-nose dead mouse as a second helping. Most of my stubborn live eaters went through several weeks of that before taking frozen thawed on the first helping.
You need help finding a live rodent supplier? Can you contact the person who sold you the albino? They probably know where to get them, if they don't have their own rodent production on site. Or you can go to google maps and just type "reptile supplies, Greenville, SC", and you'll get a list of likely places to try calling.
I don't like "prekilled", because that means I have to do the killing. And I have a hard time doing it cleanly. The small live followed by small f/t for dessert strategy has eventually worked for all of my animals.
