Went to Singapore for a week on a business trip, thinking that when I got back the snake might have settled down enough to eat. Allowed it out of the cage onto my arm, gently transfered it into a large plastic container with clip-on lid, placed inside a large brown paper bag. I put it in the bag to give it a more enclosed feeling, and to prevent the snake getting stressed by anything moving outside the enclosure. Took a mouse out of the freezer, thawed it in warm water and held it in front of the snake. It sniffed the mouse for a while, went around it, then left it. I left the mouse inside the box, put the lid on and left the snake with the mouse overnight. Checked again in the morning - mouse still there, with the snake resting its head on top. Is he taking the piss??
I'm now going to follow the instructions Mike posted on his site: get a live mouse, put it in the cage with the snake, switch off the light and leave. Return an hour later, check whether snake has eaten the mouse.
Will post about the progress on here.
