Not eating the same o.o

[Dextrad]

My ball python was an amazing feeder before; he used to barley even let me open his tub if he got the smell of a rat. Last time I tried to feed him he would not take it so I just left it in the tub and the next day it was gone. Today I tried feeding him again and same results. I paid more attention this time he seems to be really interested one second smelling it, the next he goes right past it. Also I noticed his head like shaking as if he has a wobble or something. Right now I just left the rat inside the tub, now just to wait.. well if anyone knows whats going on can you help me? If you need anymore information I will be sure to provide that. Thanks a lot

A picture of the set up would help, and the temps the snake is in.
hot spot, warm end ambient and cool end ambient?

If he is an adult male, he might be looking for a lady snake Some of my males will smell food forever but not eat it. If I throw them in with a female they breed right away.

I can just explain it. I use newspaper, the left side is the hot spot with a hide (85 at night, 93 during the day), cool side has a hide also (75-80), medium sized water bowl (it fits him well), humidity stays at about 50%, and its a 28 quart. He is about 3.5 ft (estimating).

He is about a year and half long that I know. I have only had him for about 6 months. He eats a small rat weekly.
