( I offer live mice but hold them by the tail with a pair of hemostats so they aren't running around and possibly scaring the snake). If the snake doesn't take it I would put it back and let him/her sit another 4-5 days then try again. I would repeat this process a maximum of 3 times and then I would resort to assist feeding.

just my $0.02
Agree...if live feeding hasn't been tried, that would be my first resort...
