one of two things happened - you or someone / something spooked him and he stopped eating. or it was just to big a rodent and he could not, or would not finish.
i have some snakes that will take a large rat, but never get past the head and give up, while others of the exact same size, head dimensions, etc, will finish the job.
i'm not sure, but sometimes even though they seem like they can handle, some just say screw this i'm just not up for it. maybe a handful more medium feedings and some growth and he'll kick up to the next food item size.
i doubt he'll eat it if just left - maybe dip the head in heated water, wiggle it and try again? but the result might be the same...
