No tricks here. Just patience. I have about 30 snakes now and I will always seem to have 1 or 2 that are not eating. They are always in the same racks as the other snakes that are pounding rats, so I know it isn't me. If your snake has lost 200 grams that is too much weight loss. When my snakes go off feed they seem to lose between 25 to 50 grams of weight max. I have heard that they can get tooth problems and they won't eat when they are having pain in there mouth. Good luck, and most the time it seems to bother us more when they go off feed than it bothers the snake itself. The only thing I can offer in experience is to not constantly try and feed the snake. Offer once a week and that is it.
