Other things to try:
1) Braining - expose innards to release more smell from head or belly
2) Warm up with hair dryer before feeding (gets it dry and warm, sometimes helps)
3) Wash pinky in Dawn soap (no idea why this works, but some people swear by it)
4) Boiling - give the pinky a dip in boiling water before offering it
5) Rub a gecko on the pinky - sometimes lizard scent triggers a feed response when mice don't
Is shedding an issue? They will often refuse if a shed is imminent, but typical signs may be hard to see on a small snake, especially if the colors are light as yours are.
Keep at it - once you break the code, things will be fine...
