temps are right? What are they?
Should be -
warm side 90f-93f
cool side 80f-83f
Humidity at 50%-60% (70% if in shed)

Take f/t mouse and put into a cup/container of Hot water
(as hot as the Tap water can get, you can nuke it, but you Don't want to Boil the prey)
...leave for 10- 15 mins... dump water and add hot water again for 5 mins or so ...then offer to the snake...
I have Never had a refusal!

If your snake goes off feed again, check your husbandry... chances are there is some thing wrong In the Enclosure...
