I agree with what Rob said, except, DON'T feed quail! Sure, snakes love them, and WILL imprint on them VERY quickly. Then your problem is, feeding quail every time you feed it.
It is VERY hard to odor-manipulate rodents with birds. (unless you "dip" rodents in Campbell's Chicken Soup!)

Also, another thing I didn't see mentioned.
Is the snake in a shed cycle? That is a very good sign Gabbies won't eat. I think your temps are fine. Most snakes won't eat during a shed cycle, with exceptions, such as Indigoes, False Water Cobra's, etc.
