Problems on feeding my sunbeam snake (Xenopeltis unicolor)

Hello everyone! So I already have this beautiful sunbeam snake (Xenopeltis unicolor), but until now it hasn't eaten anything yet! It's a wild-caught one and was an impulse buy. I actually live in Indonesia where this snake is originally from, but there's only a very few people who keep it as a pet. And there're only a few caresheets about sunnbeam snake.

At first, I only keep it in its terrarium filled with a little water (the shopkeeper told me to do this), then I did net research and just a few days ago I switch to coco peat for its substrate. My snake seems to love it so far, it keeps buries itself into the substrate just like what I found on the net.

The thing is it hasn't eaten.anything, yet. And it's been two months since I got it. I've tried giving it mice and fish, but none of them were eaten. Now I'm going to try a frog, since it an amphibian-eater (I actually hate frogs so I'm a bit late on trying to feed my snake with frogs). Should I keep the frog alive or dead when feeding my snake?

Thanks a lot. Advices are much appreciated. Sorry if my english is bad
