Everything looks good. I would switch from an under tank heater to an over tank heater.
When I cup feed my snakes I put the mouse in before the snake.
As far as how long to go before attempted feedings, 3 - 4 days is a nice amount of time.
What is the temperature on the hot side?
One thing that could help is raising the daytime temperature to about 87 degrees F. and the night time temperature in the upper 70s to low 80s for 3 days or so before the next feeding.
I keep my snake room at about 77F. and the corn snake that is in a 10 gallon cage can get up to 88F. with a 75 watt heat bulb or around 85F with a 60 watt.
When my grey-band was a small fry he refused to eat for 5 weeks. What I started to do then was reattempt my previously attempted feeding methods. The cup feeding at first did not work in fact it took me about 4 tries. ----- The day I give up my dreams is the day I have strategic grill locations. A dreamer has a philosophy: the entire grill is hot.
