Snake won't eat

Hello everybody! This'll be my first post here, and I'm hoping somebody can help me out.

About a month and a half ago, a teacher I aide for ended up with a baby corn snake that she didn't know what to do with, so I told her I'd take it. This was my first reptile (though my sister has a leopard gecko), so I wasn't quite sure what to do. I went home with the snake (which was given to me in a water bottle, of all things) and researched as much and as fast as I could.

My sister recently upgraded her gecko to a 20 gallon long, so she gave me her 10 gallon. I went out and bought reptibark, a water dish, a fake plant decoration, a pile of rocks, and two aquarium decorations that (of all things) he (or she) seems to love. I also got a heat lamp and a digital thermometer- the tank is now set at 85F on the warm side, and 75F on the cool side.

He's been acting perfectly normal- drinks water from his dish, tries to escape his cage, and crawls about when out of the cage. My issue is that he has yet to eat in the month and a half plus since I've had him. I've (weekly) tried thawed frozen pinkies, I've even tried live a couple times- he's just not interested. He hasn't shed in the time that I've had him, and, as far as I can tell, isn't about to.

I've decided to name it Azazel, and since it now has a name, there's no turning back! Can anybody help me out?? If there's any more information you need, please let me know
