he's probably figured out the mouse is already dead, so why bother striking.
Is the Mouse warmed to the correct temperature? A live mouse has body heat, and a cold mouse would not. Make sure it's still warm when you offer it to the snake. Are you wiggling the mouse making it look alive?
If I just lay a mouse in front of Rufus, he will just swallow it with no strike. But if I wiggle it and make him chase it around the box, he will strike at it, probably thinking it's alive.
