I got 2 male bps both breeding size one a bit larger then other.... the smaller one hasn't eaten in about 2months an larger one about a month... tried rats mice chicks an no luck... they are sharing a tank currently with me burm which is feeding fine.

Well your first issue is they are housed with a Burm.

Second issue two breeding males being housed together…One will dominate the other.

You should really get your balls set up in proper separate enclosures!!!

What is issue with bein with burm...
Neither have ever bred.
I just took small one in as a favor to friend..
Tryin to get a separate tank for each.

With snakes... cannibalism isn't unheard of...

If they're stressed by from sharing the tank, that may be the cause of the fasting. Snakes are most vulnerable just after eating. That's why stress right after eating leads to a regurg, it's a defense mechanism.

Would you eat thanksgiving dinner if you thought someone was going to fight you in an hour?

Ok I'm gonna try to split them up.
