Hi Jack
 Make sure your tank is warm enough and the mouse is not too big. If your snake does not feel secure, he might stop eating (even when you moved him to a different location it might have upset him and made him stress).  Provide him with one or two nice hiding places.  To entice a snake to eat, try both dead prey, then live prey.  Try feeding your snake during the day, and then at night.  A towel over the tank may help. Since your snake is still quite young he should still be eating weekly.  If he doesn't eat anything within the next two weeks you should take your snake to the vet to rule out bacteria, protozoa or worms.  When your snake defecates, collect the feces in a clean bag and take it to a reptile veterinarian. Good luck and keep me posted on how he does.
