I've noticed this with kenyans when i had a bunch of neonates, have you tried live or F/T rodents? Tease feeding? what are your temperatures at? what kind of substrate is it on? is their any fluid coming from its mouth, or is it breathing with its mouth open? Although I have noticed some of my boids just go off feed during winter months, so take some of these things into consideration and i'll try and help you as best i can.
Peace,
Eric

seems like boidaddic has it covered and i think that desert species can go a pretty long time without food, snakes can period as long as its not showing any signs of bad health. when was the last time is shed?

You haven't mentioned much about the set up your snake is in. This may be the cause of its lack of feeding.
