I just had this problem and maybe I was lucky, but here's what I did. I took a day-old pinky and removed the head. Using a probe, I mounted the head and proceeded to gently poke the snake until I pissed it off. One time it snapped at it and took it off the probe. After several tries it bit it solidly and swallowed it down. Haven't got it to do it since. This is the same way that I feed newly hatched Scarlet Kings.

By the way, where did you get your Cylindrophis?
