sounds stressed... leave the food in the enclosure and put a sheet over the enclosure to may help.... possibly even putting the enclosure in a quieter area of the house till it's calmd down to ppl may also help get it feeding again

I,ve had the same problem with my coastal i use a pillow case put your snake in it with its food roll the opening shut fold over and secure with a rubber band leave it in dark quiet place done

I would bump up the temperature to around 32-34c,then wait a week or so with little to no disturbing,except to clean or change water then offer a mouse-rat.If it doesnt take it,leave alone again for another week,keep trying....

sounds abit cold from the temps you said. bump the temp up to 30C in the centre of its enclosure and leave it a cpl of weeks to settle before trying to feed again. its also winter and most snakes do go off their food at this time of year
