Are you using a probed thermometer or one of those circu, stick on plastic ones ??
Incidentally ]
My Royals / Ball pythons will ONLY strike feed from the security of a hide !!
Next time , wait until evening .. dim /low lighting ... wait until he's settled under a hide .. plug the hairdryer in close to the snake viv / tub then blast the rat /mouse for 15 seconds then using kitchen tongs ...instantly dangle the rat in front of the hide entrance ..
If there is any interest shown then just repeat the process exactly
