Check the temperature in the enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. Make sure he is well hydrated. Soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 15-20 minutes. This will provide both hydration and warmth. Make sure prey are appropriately sized, no bigger than the space between his eyes. If he doesn't begin to eat then have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose and treat any underlying cause.
