What was he feeding on prior to going on hiatus like this?
Also, how old is your snake and how much does he weigh? Normal defecating patterns prior to rejecting food? Any regurgs?
Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary for him such as spending most of his time on one side or the other? |

Jonathan has some excellent questions. Basically, the more we know, the better we can help you. If you could share temp and humidity info that would also help.
BTW, assuming he's older, is there a mature female nearby? That could also explain this.
