I offer food after the first week, if not taken then I will try to feed on the same day the following week. General rule of thumb is not to handle the snake for at least 48 hrs after feeding (there is a possibility you could get your mouse back). Is this snake coming from a pet store of breeder?

Hope this helps

Take care
The simple answer is yes. It is a pet store but they bred their own snakes. They did not breed mine, but they do bred a ton of different colored corns. I asked where he came from and he was bred by one of her customers, that I am aquainted with. I do know someone else who has one of his snakes, it is healthy and quite big.
