I would even drop to only offering every two weeks until he starts up again, to save on discarded rats.

So I would not worry, and offer prey once every 2 weeks until the prey is accepted and then continue with your normal feeding schedule
Both of these responses are what I would say . My albino boy has refused from October to March / May for 2 years in a row (3 now). I still offer him a rodent weekly since I can always just give that rodent to another snake, but if he's your only snake, offering every 2 weeks is perfectly okay. If it was a baby, then 6-8 weeks is BAD. Since he's big and is an eating machine (as you stated), you shouldn't have much to worry about. My pastel special (1300 grams) scared me to death with her feeding response, but now she slowed down. My calico (1400 grams) still scares the hell out of me, and she hasn't slowed down at all! I'm wondering when she'll stop.. My normal gal (2200 grams) stopped eating after I paired her, but she started to pick up again with weekly feedings !
