I've got an '05 male albino at around 360 grams and lately he's shying away from feeding, it's been almost a month since he last ate. He used to pound down a mice or rat pup every 7 to 10 days during the late summer and fall until december.
I've read other threads in regards to this habit and I've tried their methods: live adult mice, prekilled rat pups, etc. He's lost a few grams already. But he's still as active as ever and always drinking and moving around. Should I be concerned?
Thanks for any input.

should you be concerned, NO. It is quite common for bp's to go off-feed this time of year and not start back till the weather patterns have stabalized and warmer temps are constant. Some snake seem to be able to sence a change in barometric pressure which will cause them to stop eating for any given time period. A few grams of weight loss is not a big deal. When the weight loss is quick or the snake has gone several months without feeding is when you should start to get concerned.

We see about half of ours go off all winter = 3 months. I wouldn't get real worried until after 6 months...or I see signs of significant weight loss or other health issues.
