Coachwhip care?

I was at the Repticon show here in Columbia and I ended up getting a coachwhip that was said to be wild caught in Florida. I'm assuming it is just a standard Eastern Coachwhip. I've had him for a few days and I have offered him pinky mice that are small enough for him to eat and he refuses them every time. He is in a 40 gallon breeder with a basking area at 90 degrees and around 78 on the cool end.

I am considering offering him some green anoles from the pet store to see if he will eat those. He is nearly 3 feet long and very alert and defensive. He has a plastic igloo to hide in and I cover the front of his tank so he feels somewhat safer. Anyone have any other ideas about what I can do to make him happier and get him eating? I realize he is adjusting to new surrounding but I worry that he will get stressed and then malnourished from not eating then crash on me. Other than not eating for me he looks very healthy.
