Weigh him.

That way you can track any weight loss.

Did you switch suppliers for your mice?

Have you taken him to a reptile vet? He might be ill...
Keeping track of his weight is a good idea and try to keep handling to a minimum and only try to feed every 10 or so days I'd say.

Hope he is ok, try not to worry too much, snakes can go a long time without eating, but definitely book an appointment with a vet.

My friends Corn didn't eat for over 10 months, he was fairly underweight but then he just decided to eat one day. Maybe not be the best suggestion or option but feeding live could work? Get the instinct going and it won't be able to stop itself, just a suggestion.
