Milk snake won't eat

Purchased a Stuarts Milksnake two weeks ago. He seems to have taken to his enclosure nicely. Only issue is that he will not eat. I know we have the heating, humidity, and lighting dialed in just fine. We have been trying thawed mice with no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thank you!!

How large is the snake in comparison to the tank? Snakes tend to prefer a tighter enclosure as it makes them feel more secure.

The snake is three feet and is in a 40 gallon enclosure. Although we have been trying to feed him in a smaller Rubbermaid container.

You might want to try live pinks. Normally the neotropical milk snakes are real aggressive feeders. I once had a Honduran that seemed reluctant to come out of his egg. I put the egg with him inside in a container and put a live pinky mouse in there too. That snake actually leaped out of the egg to grab that pinky mouse! Problem solved...
