Sounds like he's just having a natural fast, sometimes they do that for reasons best known to themselves.
Try food from a different shop, he wouldne be the first to turn his nose up at cr*p food.

does it only have the one hide? might be an idea to put some cardboard boxes ect in there as temporary hides or i think some people on here use those plastic buiscit boxes with a arch cut into it to provide an access gap..
what temps are you keeping it at?

some people on here would take it on eating or not but if you could put some pics up and location you might get some interest...have you tried braining the mouse?...you should also advertise it on the sales section of this forum...hope this helps.

The fact it is not eating is also a problem, because i have cats and I want to rehome the snake ASAP, but with it not eating will anyone actually be interested in taking the snake on??? it is very good natured a real beauty and other wise seems healthy like moves about, explores and drinks just wont eat and i really want to rehome it as I hate things being prolonged.

It could be a multitude of things that could be causing this.
As it stands a couple months is nothing to worry about. But if you could answer a few questions, then it may help us to help you.

Roughly how long is it?
How long have you had it?
Is it housed on it's own?
Do you know what sex it is?
What food item was it's last feed, and when?
What sized viv/faun (tank) do you keep it in? (inches please)
How do you heat it?
How do you regulate the heat?
What substrate (bedding) do you use?
What hidey holes do you have in the viv?
