And it's totally your decision to return an animal you're unhappy with, but keep in mind that most people don't even offer food to a new snake until after a week has passed. Not eating for 7 days is by no means a food strike.

With regards to the size of prey your feeding, it looks appropriate, but it's hard to tell without any references. Could you possibly post a pic of it next to the snake? And is it a mouse or a rat? Also, please do not release it into the wild. Could you perhaps rehome it or return the feeder as well?
Possible I could rehome it I didn't think releasing it was a bad thing, It is a mouse and yes I am checking his tank every Hour and his temperature only changes 2-3 degrees at a time, and OH NO I will not be returning him at all I love animals all of animals I just need some help possibly getting him fed thats all. Well I am the only one home at the moment and holding the house I would rather not get bit if ya get me. Umm What does OP mean?

Also I just read 90 is basking temperature, ALSO I forgot to mention he always has a warm spot in his cage and a cool spot, like half/half hes half on and half off, although hes being more active with the mouse out of his cage, Umm hes being handled just fine no aggression and I had mouse smell on me not thinking I handled him and no biting. So I am just worried about him not eating, but my father inlaw snake Nate 11yrs now he didnt eat for a full month!! when he first got him. The mouse honestly looks almost full grown so I would call it a hopper?
