Need tips for getting my Jungle Carpet python to eat

I've had him for about a week now. I tried feeding him yesterday and tonight with no success. Both were at night when my snake was active and roaming about. The mouse was warm from being thawed out in warm water.

Since day 1, the perches(basking area) in the upper half of the enclosure are at the 90F mark. On the floor of the enclosure on the hotside, the ambient air temperature goes back and forth between 81-83 F. On the cool side of the enclosure it goes back and forth between 76-80F depending on time of day. At night, I turn off the heat, and turn on a 25 watt night bulb just to keep the enclosure at appropriate temperatures.( I live in new york so with all heating sources turned off it can get to the low 70's). Humidity is usually around 50%. I mist every couple of days and the bedding is a mixture of cypress mulch and eco earth so it holds humidity. pretty well for a while after the misting. My JCP is about 2 feet long and is in an 18x18x18 exo-terra.
