If your snake has just recently started to stop eating this isn't a cause for concern. Boas can go up to 7 months of not eating without any serious effects, especially during the winter months or during breeding season for females. Keep offering food and possibly switch to live food to interest him more.

The snake will only eat once a week or so, if it is not eating, try a different type of live feed.

Take it to your vet and have the snake checked out. It could be serious if not looked at by your vet.
