Corn snakes don't typically eat either of those items. I would suggest trying brained / live / washed pinks and researching here for different tricks.

have you tried leaving the snake and mouse in the dark overnight?

Live pinkies?

Wash the mouse with mild soap and rinse very well with water...sometimes they don't smell right. Also don't touch the mouse after washing it. Use forceps or gloves.

try a very small box so they can't avoid each other. Put the box back in the snake cage in case he escapes. Good luck!

I believe it was chicken skin that was used to get some hatchlings to eat. Also chicken broth, lizard scenting, egg yolk, and a few others I don't recall without looking at my list...

Chicken broth or soup is what I have heard to be used successfully.

Just dip the pinky in it and give it to the snake in a dark place.
