Don't sweat it. Alot of folks I know are having feeding issues with their snakes right now. Because of the constant fluctuations in barometric pressure that comes with winter weather patterns (in Oklahoma, it is spring/summer the first half of the week and frigidly cold the second half). Even though we try our best to control temps and humidity within a "captive environment", what we can't change is barometric pressure of the surrounding environment. Reptiles feel it and adjust to it.
As far as shedding, just because a snake isn't eating, doesn't mean it isn't growing. I have a '05 female Dum that went off feed for a full year and still managed to put on 10 inches in length. My 9ft female Dum hadn't eaten in the last 2 months and she shed 4 times, twice this last week and then she ate for me yesterday.
Just be patient, the snake should be fine. ----- 2.5 dumerils boas, 1.1 albino burmese python, 0.2 bearded dragons, 1.0 german giant bearded dragon & 0.0.1 sulcata tortoise
