I was successful with anole scenting in one case. Also, I had one just start to feed after its second shed (after refusing all attempts before that). I am force-feeding a few now.

Graybands are easier IMO than some cornsnakes.

Don't forget that inbreeding has occurred to a great deal with cornsnakes, resulting in hatchlings with little desire to feed on mice, so it seems. I would try scenting as suggested by others.
