Hi,
In order to give you good suggestions we need a little more info. If you would take the time to answer the following questions it will help people to better help you.

How old is the snake?
It's length?
When was the last time it ate?
What is it's condition now (Skinny, still healthy looking, etc...)?
How long have you had it and has it eaten since you've had it?
What are the temperatures within the snake's enclosure? (Humidity level sounds like it could be OK since it shed in one piece but posting the humidity level would still be good.)

Initially I can't help but wonder if a temperature drop within it's cage could have anything to do with it but there are so many other possibilities I wouldn't put any money on it without knowing the answers to the above Qs.

As for a supplement to put in it's water to increase appetite, I'm unaware of any. But even if I knew of one that would be my last resort as it could just be a bandaid, masking the real problem.

Catch ya later!
HH
