Do not keep trying everyday! Keep on your regular schedule! You can condition the snake to ignore food when it is offered too often. That is not what you want. 13 days is nothing to be concerned about. Snakes do not function like a mammal, in need of regular nutrition.
I'd suggest leaving the pinkie inside the feeding container overnight if needed. Place the feeding container inside a dark cabinet and close the door (NO PEEKING!) and leave the snake alone. Sometimes there are just too much external stimuli and the snake gets distracted. (You can compare this to someone who can't go to the bathroom in front of others in public
)
