Are you staring at him? Leave him be, turn out the lights, and go away for an hour. Some of them won't eat if you are watching or peeking. Dark and alone may be best. How long have you had this snake, and how has he eaten for you before? They all have their quirks. But backwards is by no means anything to worry about. They can manage.
