No.

If it's a hatchling you should keep trying to feed it weekly.

If it goes more than 6 or 8 weeks without eating it's time for forcefeed.

Put the snake in a small paper bag with a live pink. Put the bag back in the cage but over or under a direct heat source. Leave it overnight.

If that doesn't work, then you need to consider force feeding or a stay in the freezer.
