Only offer food every 5-7 days to stop wasting prey items. I feed my juveniles on that same schedule, and sub adults every 10-14 days.
Increase the temp to 98-102 degrees to mimic the actual body temp of mice/rats and see if that helps.
Get some tongs (Zoo Med stainless steel) and dance the feeders around in front of the snake to mimic live prey.
I usually feed my snakes at dusk or early night, not during the full light of day. If it’s after 8pm (for me) and my tank lights shut off, I turn on a room light, but that’s it.

Tried again this evening but she just slithers right past the pinky.
