Hi,

It's most often a security issue - are you hovering over him watching him to see if he eats?

Try leaving the room once he has it in his coils and give him a good 15 minutes before checking on him again.

Or you can also try re-offering him the mouse (heat the head up a bit again first) to see if he will strike and constrict it agaiun and hopefully eat it.

You can also try heating the head more initially but if he is striking that probably isn't it.
