I have the same problem with my female dumeril she is 7 months old and just over 2 foot long. Have you tried pre killed mice and leave them in the cage over night? They like to hunt at night. Don't handle him for a couple of days before feeding . If he still don't eat in another month or so i would call you vet and have him checked to see if anything is wrong.
good luck,
loretta
