It's most likely time to move him into something larger - can't help but wonder if he's having a hard time thermoregulating in such a small enclosure. Typically for big juvies the rubbermaid 2221 sweater boxes work very well (especially in a rack system). You may want to think about moving him into a larger, low-maintenance setup & see if this helps with the feeding response. Get him into something bigger with a clearly defined thermal gradient, a couple of hides, simple substrate and a water bowl, and let him settle in for at least a week. Once he's settled, try offering him rodents (even scented) to see if you can get him turned back on. When you get him eating consistently, try sticking to a routine - in my experience blood & short-tailed pythons respond very well to "habit," i.e. feeding at the same time, maintenance at the same time, etc.



Good luck!
