I would not go back to the jumbo sized mice.

Usually when they take a mouse partially and then spit it back out it can be attributed to a couple of things.

Stress, you possibly stressed it out or frightened it while it was wanting to eat.

Prey size too big, I have seen it several times when a mouse was too big the snake would get it about to the shoulders and spit it back out.

There are obviously other reasons but if the snake is in good condition and it did show a normal eating response when trying to eat the jumbo mouse then something made it change its mind.



I would put it in a bare container with a hopper and leave it completely undisturbed for a couple of hours or more.
