I missed your first post, so if this is a repeat, I'm sorry. First and foremost, don't leave live prey with the snake, unless it's a pinky, because regardless of size they can injure your snake. Did you ask the seller what he ate? Some bp prefer a certain color, some prefer live, dead prekill, etc. Mine will only eat white, plan and simple. Only two of my snakes eat prekill, the rest only eat live. Has he had a bowel movement since you bought him? Are you keeping the tank at the right temps? Now, as for ways to try to get him to eat. Go to your local shop that sells rodents and ask what will seem like a ridiculous question. Ask them for used mice bedding. I know, it sounds gross, but trust me. If he eats mice, get used mice bedding, if its rats, get rat bedding. Because its used, it will smell like the prey, and you put some in his tank. If he stays in his hide box alot, put it outside the hide box, so he has to smell it 24/7. Leave him alone for about a week, make sure his basic needs are met, but don't handle or open the tank alot. Then after about a week, try and feed again. If you want to try live first, make sure you watch them. Then if that doesn't work, you can terminate the mouse, and try exposing some blood. If that doesn't work, (make sure mouse is still warm), get some thongs and try moving the mouse. If it still doesn't work, try again in a week. You may have to leave him for awhile with the prekill. Also, try at night with little light in the room. My pastel will only eat moving prekill (we use thongs) and it has to be dark. Go figure. After that, depending on how long you've had him, I would seek a herp vet. Good luck.
