It may be normal for him depending on his age. If he is an adult, he can be fed every other day. A juvenile should be fed daily and should eat significantly more prey. They can be little eating machines! Confirm proper temperature in the enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. Offer him appropriately sized and gut loaded prey, nothing bigger than the space between the eyes. Greens can be offered in the morning, about an hour or two after the heat lamp turns on. Keep him hydrated by misting or soaking. As long as he is behaving normally otherwise, there is likely no cause for concern unless he absolutely refuses future meals.
