If this animal is 250 grams or less (no idea as age does not mean much) do this.
If the animal is between 250 grams and 500 grams which I highly doubt given the description do the same but replace the 6 quarts tub with a 12 quarts tub and the plastic flower pot saucer with a small plastic bowl.
Very important you MUST know your temps at all time.
BP's can get tricky if their needs are not met to a T so temps, enclosure size, security are VERY important.

Use aspen as bedding
Provide a 6 inches flower pot saucer as a hide.
Provide temps on the warm side no higher than 88 degrees.
NO MORE HANDLING until your BP eats at least 3 to 5 consecutive time on it's own.
Once you made the changes weight a week
Offer a live mouse (the prey should be equal the girth size of your snake) in it's enclosure, close the tub, remove if un-eaten after 15 min.
