Hey Chris!
How old is your snake and how long have you had him? Has he eaten for you before? 12 weeks without food is a walk in the park for a healthy snake. I have a few snakes that fast for 4-5 months every year. I do think you could bump your temps up a few degrees, especially on the cool side. I’d aim for a 32/27 temperature gradient. Other than that if you know your snake isn’t sick then you’ll basically just have to keep offering food and wait him out. I only offer food every 2-4 weeks for snakes that are off food. Most snakes, especially BPs, can go without food for a very long time but they all come around eventually. It can be frustrating but try not to stress too much. Sometimes a live feeder will jumpstart their appetite. If you think your snake is ill, or if it loses a substantial amount of weight, then a vet visit may be in order but hopefully that’s not the case. Best wishes with your critter.
