I just had this happen last night, I tried a fresh killed mouse, the ball python wrapped around it but left it in the tank until I pulled it out the next day. So I threw in a live mouse and closed it up for about a half hour. Then I opened it up and there was just a tail sticking out of her mouth LOL. If I were you I'd try a live one or a fresh killed (use CO2). I moved away from frozen thawed, hard to get the right temp and they end up smelling a bit funny and the rodent nose bleeds are terrible, now I raise all my own rodents, mice, African soft furs and just this week had some regular rat pups. I had two snakes that would refuse a mouse and ASF and the following day offered a live rat pup and both ate them! I do spend a lot of time feeding and cleaning rodent tanks, but it's nice to have a variety of food items for these picky eaters. Takes me about 15 minutes per day to feed all my rodent tanks, then about three hours each weekend to clean the rodent tanks. It's a lot of work but well worth it if you have the time. I try to feed fresh killed to all of my bigger snakes since the rodents tend to bite and fresh killed is safer. If they don't eat I'll offer live, usually very supervised and usually never leave one in the tub like that closed up, but I know this snake I'm feeding and she is a mean girl, if I leave it open she strikes at me instead of the mouse!
