    Assuming it is an hatching here is what I will suggest

    Get a 6 quarts tub

    Use aspen bedding

    Provide a hot spot of 88 degrees max (94 is way too hot)

    Get a 6 inches flower pot saucer to use as a hide.

    Leave your snake alone for a week (NO HANDLING)

    After a week offer a LIVE mouse equal the girth size of your snake, just drop it in the enclosure. (remove if uneaten after 15 min)

    Number 1 cause of feeding issues with new snake and owners are husbandry related.

    Keep your snake in this setup until it is about 250 grams, than move to a 10 gallons tank if and only if the animal is eating for you.
