New to bloods. Feeding tips?

[redeemed1]

Hey everyone. I got my first blood python a little over a month ago. Its a juvenile high yellow phase. Came from BA Reptiles at a reptile show. I've got experience with ball pythons and a hogg island boa, but this is my first venture into blood pythons.

I just can't seem to get the guy to eat. He's in a 20l aquarium with mid 80 temps and high 70's night. 2 hides + a water bowl he gets under too. Cypress mulch for a substrate, which he borrows in alot. He's active, friendly, just doesn't eat. I've tried mice, rat pups, alive (with alot of supervision) and prekilled. I hate thawing out rodents, so I haben't gone f/t.

I've fed him in a seperate container, in his cage, and in a dark container that I left him in with the prekilled mouse for an hour.

I've gone through all my tricks that I learned with balls.

Help!
