I dont see a problem with it aside from the fact that the snake might not be eating if its living conditions are not ideal. If thats the case, check living conditions and refrain from holding the snake or bothering it too much. This way it starts feeling safe again and will get back to a feeding schedule.
But for the most part, 2 weeks without food isnt a big deal.

It's fine to handle it, just don't handle it on the day your going to feed.

Re: more questions lol
It depends on the current state of the animal and why its currently off feed. Excessive handling can be a contributing factor in non-feeding issues and could prolong the problem.
If I have an animal that is not eating for me I will usually not handle them outside of cleaning and tub maintenance until they start to feed regularly again.
