i have a snake that is nearly a year old, when i first got it it didn't eat for 9 weeks, (it had oly eaten once or twice when i picked it up as a hatchy) i tried upping the temps, didn't handle it, in the end, i went into my back yard, pounced around for a skink, froze the skink for a few daze, defrosted it with the pinky and mashed it all over the mouse. it was a tiny little skink, and the hatch didn't heistate to eat it, he's never missed a feed since. your snake sounds a bit older than that, so i would try husbandry first, temps, hides, quieter areas, then give the quail a go. i would only scent a mouse with a skink as a last ditch effort after trying everything else, after all you are going to kill a skink and you may infect your snake with worms. good luck and let us know how you go.
