Feeding and failure to feed can be due to various factor at that size/age. First you need to realize that 2 skip meals in 4 weeks is not a problem, second you need to see if things need to be adjusted or not or if it is a normal behavior for said snake
While generally a juvenile of that size with optimum husbandry will rarely stop eating it also depends how much the animal has been fed, BP will skip meals or even fast to catch up so feeding smaller prey especially to males is always recommended.
Now a typical cause for BP that size to start skipping meals or go of feed is usually husbandry related even an animal that has been house in the same condition for a while can start developing issues so making sure the husbandry is optimal (temps etc) and considering downsizing if not done already is always advisable.
Finally there is the age in question as well, you BP is now mature and while he is small he might be wanting to breed, I have had a small male this season going of feed at 400 grams (not something usual around here), this male is a year old and apparently he had breeding on his mind, I put him with some females he locked right away and now is eating again and has gained 250 grams in a very short amount of time.
As you can see reasons for not feeding can be as easy as being in shed to more complex reasons.
Try spacing the meals to every 10 days and double check your husbandry.
