Are we talking about a mouse fuzzy ? If so, that is to small of a meal.
Granted, this snake is SKINNY. But if it had its normal girth, it could easily eat a small adult mouse.
I would offer a rat fuzzy. Also, do NOT move the snake out of the cage to feed. Best if its actually in its hide and you hold the fuzz right at the opening of the hide...move it around a bit, put its head in the hide. If the snake don't go for it, leave the fuzz laying half way in the hide and LEAVE IT. Move away. It might just eat once everything is dark and quiet (aka safe)
That snake seems majorly stressed. You might have to try a live fuzz. Only try every 3 days or so. I would say a week in between, but that snake desperately needs some food.
If NOTHING works, a visit to the vet might be in order to check for internal parasites etc. Assist feeding "may" need to be attempted. But that should be very last ditch effort and only done by someone experienced. Also, only after internal parasites have been ruled out and the husbandry double and tripple checked.
Good luck. Once he/she starts eating, they pack the weight on fast !
If you do want to try frozen thawed again, here is a trick...has worked for me every time. Thaw out in cold water. Should only take an hour at the most, at the size of that rodent. Then use hot water for 5 minutes. Pour out and use fresh hot water for another 5 minutes. When I say hot, I mean hot but not boiling...you don't want to cook the fuzz. Do the "hot/5 minutes" 3 times in a row, then rub the fuzz dry and immediately stick its head into the hide where the snake is. It has to feel VERY warm to the touch. If yours were wet and only lukewarm, they were actually cold by the time they are presented to the snake. Again, if not taken immediately, leave it and walk away and check in the morning !
