You folks with house snakes

This is the 2nd young housesnake I have that will not feed on the thawed pinks I have offered (that is all I've tried.) What gets me is that this snake has obviously had some meals before coming here judging by his size and nice body weight. Any successful techniques for stubborn housesnakes? Thanks.

If that soesn't work, try a live pinky. A lot of my neonates refuse anything but live for their first few meals...
