He could have a high amount of parasites causing issues.. a simple fecal check would tell you if he did or not. Without knowing a ton of background and husbandry information, it's really too hard to guess.

My advice, if this is just a pet and not a breeder, and his stools look good, continue what you're doing and feed more often if you want to increase size faster.

If he's going to be used as a breeder, cooled down or introduced to other snakes, take a fresh stool sample to get tested. It's not expensive and will help confirm or eliminate one of your problems.
