Please describe your set up in general, and what you have tried to far in terms of feeding him. Is he a hatchling or an older snake?

it is a cornsnake, the snake have never eat befor. the snake lose the skin for one day ago. i have lett the pinki in the cage for one night, nothing happen. now i putt the pinki under some paper. sorry for my english am from norway. hehe
 
This is what I would do. Wait three days after your last attempt. Thaw the pinky in very hot water- 101-103F. Cut four small slits in the back of the pinky, just through the skin. Put the snake in a small container, with air holes, just big enough to fit the snake- like the size of one of its hides- with the pinky, in the evening, in the dark, and leave it alone for at least two hours before checking on it. If the snake hasn't eaten the pinky, leave it in the container all night.

Remember also to minimise stress in the time between feeding attempts. Try not to handle or disturb the snake unless neccessary. :)
 
Also, if the pinky has been thawed overnight, do not re-freeze it. Throw it away and give the snake a new one.
