Since it has been a few weeks and the snake still has not eaten, I decided to follow the advice Mike Willbanks posted on his site. I had transfered the snake from the larger cage into a smaller box so I could easily find the mouse back in case the snake hadn't eaten it. Bought a live mouse, still quite little. Waited until late evening. Put mouse in cage. Switched off light and left the apartment.
Came back about two hours later. The mouse was nowhere to be seen and the snake was curled up inside the shelter. All looked fine until about ten minutes later the snake started moving around again and that was not supposed to happen. After the feed the snakes normally stay rolled up inside the shelter for a few days while they digest the food. So I opened the box, lifted the shelter and there it was: a little pink mouse, quietly asleep. I mean, seriously... You're not suppsed to play with it, it's your food!!
Gonna stick to Mike's advice and wait five days before I repeat the procedure.
