OP, I would try a warm adult mouse first, maybe scented with hamster/gerbil shavings to really get him interested, and if that doesn't work try live.
I don't feed live either, and I don't plan on resorting back to it. But if a snake goes off feed, especially in the spring, you have to keep your options open. many people aren't comfortable prekilling mice, or stunning them. My mom used to have to slam rabbits against the wall to feed her red tail, and man did it get to her.
