Your temps sound OK, maybe a bit high on the hot side, but it appears there is ample opportunity for the snake to regulate from one side of the cage to the other. At two feet, the snake does not appear to be this years hatch. There is the possiblity if its a wild caught animal that its just sensing winter approaching and shutting down for brumation. It may not shut down eating completely, just not eat as often as it did in the spring and summer months. Also, I dont think a pinky mouse is a big enough meal for a snake this size. At two feet long, should easily be on fuzzy mice or even hoppers, and possibly weanling sized mice. Is this the first shed for you with this snake? There may be the possibility it just needs a day or two more to get hungry after the shed. Wait a few days and try again.
