How long has it been? Mine didn't eat for almost 5 weeks when I brought him home. Also, yours might be trying to semi-hybernate, or brumate. Several of my snakes do that when it gets cooler outside and the heater takes all the humidity out of the air in the house (and I'm in GA so it never gets really cold here). What are your temps day/night? In the winter, I always have to use a second heat source for my snakes since it's about 10* cooler in the house than it is in the summer, they won't eat unless I keep it hot. If it was eating at the petstore you got it from, you might go back and check the temps in the AFT enclosure there and then try to replicate that at home...might also ask them what they were feeding it. I had a garter snake once that did the same type of thing to me, he went on a hunger strike in Dec. that lasted until Feb.
