Everything is OK except is does not eat! Well often food refusal is related to husbandry issues.
Now here is what your BP needs a cool side 80-84 a warm side 90-94 not sure are you measure your temps since you do not mention it but here is the proper and accurate way to do it.
You need to measure your temp at the bottom of your enclosure with a digital thermometer/ hydrometer you can get one at walmart and it look like this.
Stick or dial thermometer do not work and saying your room is warm does not mean it is warm enough with the proper temperature for a BP.
Your BP needs 2 tight hides one on each side, that he can squeeze in (all the sides of the hides should touch your BP’s body.
BP needs belly heat to help with digestion and for overall health to provide belly heat you will need a UTH or flexwatt heat tape as well as a thermostat to maintain proper temps and ovoid over-heating of the device.
Now for humidity you have several option.
Have a substrate that holds humidity better (Cypress mulch, repti-bark).
Spray your enclosure
Have a second water dish on the warm side over the UTH
Have a humid hide.
When it comes to maintaining a glass tank properly I will send you back to this post

Now for the feeding I would highly recommend you do not wiggle a live prey in front of your BP all you do is stress the prey which will make it more aggressive toward your snake
Now your BP is a year old so do not waste your time feeding pinkies you need to first provide proper husbandry know your temps have proper humidity then once everything is proper attempt feeding
What would help is to know what your BP was eating before being in your care Live, F/T, Mice, Rats?
