Alot of people wont take that much time to find something their BP will eat if they suddenly go off feed. As long as they are of a good weight and thickness, which yours is, it wouldnt hurt him to not eat even for a few months.
As he gets older he may do it more. Try raising the temp just 2 degrees in his tank. It may help. May not. Plus males are ready to breed at 6 to 8 months of age usually. If your little guy is producing plugs already he might be in breeding mode. Its possible.

Take your snake over to Ben Seigels store or Underground reptiles in Deerfield. Someone there will probably help yah. BG would help, but he only meets fans when paid big appearance fees.:D
