I'd give it some additional time before "tease feeding" it if it was eating for the breeder that produced it without any "tricks". I would also give it something larger than a standard-sized pinky. Like a fuzzy. They can eat larger food items than hatching Corn Snakes.

I hatched my first three Baird's this year and they all ate frozen/thawed fuzzy mice. I've occasionally had Honduran Milks not eat regular-sized pinkies, but accept large ones (or fuzzies).
