I always leave my new snakes to settle in for a week before offering especially the Royals / Balls who can be a bit mardy ...
I'd try one evening , in dim
light . Wait until he's been settled under a hide for a while then warm up the thawed rodent with a hairdryer.... then INSTANTLY dangle it over the hide entrance..
Repeat the procedure exactly a few times
