I also disagree with keeping your humidity as high as possible, which will likely cause respiratory problems. I try to keep mine around 50%-60%, and spray every other day or so to bring it up to 90% for a few hours. My humidity frequently dips down to 20%-30% in the winter and I've never had any issues. I've talked to quite a few breeders with very large high end collections that rarely, or never, mist. Airflow is one of the biggest things to watch out for, as too little airflow can influence the growth of mold. Your little guy may be going off food to get ready to shed, or maybe for no reason at all. I would wait and try to feed again next week, it is probably nothing serious. Is it an import?
x2 good points there. I would personally try to keep the humidity at 60 with 50 being the mark i would mist lightly, but sitting on the bottom not really a big deal. it happens. and what size is the snake and what size is the prey item? a little smaller then what you would give a BP of the same size is better.
