Have you only just got it?
Has it eaten for you since you've had it? It probably needs to settle into its new surroundings, leave it alone for a week or so and offer again.

I think a lot of people's snakes are being funny at the moment. Probably the cooler temperatures drops the tank temperature a bit, and reduces the snakes willingness to feed.
Bob, my corn, is being stupid with food recently. He will only eat if I leave the mouse in a few hours or overnight, in the dark, right outside his cage, on the warm side. I have literally just fed him tonight a couple hours ago. I also am feeding less regularly for the time being, saves wasting mice! This feed is 10 days since last, and others have been 2 week gaps. Its annoying: he used to strike feed perfectly! Give him another couple of days and try again, leave it in there overnight and see if he goes for it.
