Not fed for 3 months lost 300grams

My 2 yr old male has not eaten for 3 months and I can't figure out why. I know not to stress but it's hard not to, he did weigh 1500 and now down to 1200.. How much longer should I leave him to try feed and hold how much weight should he lose for me to get concerned? My 1 year old python is doing fine and eating perfectly!

A 1500 gram male is a big boy.
My spider does the same thing. I wouldn't worry if he was mine till at 1000 or less.
Do you feed live or f/t?

Was his last weight taken before he defecated? That will lighten him quite a bit and he may not have lost that much weight if he's defecated sometime during those three months. I also wouldn't be too concerned about a male that's over 700g.

No after, I normally weigh him every 2 months after he's poked, and ah okay thank you

I wouldn't try feeding him every week. Since he is not taking food just try once every two weeks. It will save you food and will be less stressful to him. You may try offering him a smaller size then he normally takes to get him going but he will eat when he is ready.
