Looking for help feeding snake

Hello all,
I was recently gifted a small Coast Nightsnake from a friend who's girlfriend wanted to kill it. Early on (I've had it roughly a month) I got it to eat the tail of a Western Fence Lizard, which proved to be a big meal for it. Since then (roughly 3 weeks) it hasn't eaten. I've tried Fence Lizard tails roughly once a week and its never been interested again. Ive also tried very small pinkies, crickets, waxworms, and even a newly metamorphized Baja California Treefrog (I raise tadpoles). It took none of them. I've been reading and it seems in the wild, they primarily eat baby Side-Blotched Lizards and Fence Lizards. However Ive been unable to find any near me. I guess my question is two parts:

1. Does anyone else have experience with this species and have tips on feeding?

2. If anyone in the San Diego area breeds/could catch a baby lizard, I'd be grateful

Thanks!
