Question Red Tail not eating

I have a red tail boa. It's about four months old and it's not eating. It use to eat a rat pup every week but for the past month it hasn't showed any interest in eating what so ever. I keep the heat at 85 in the day and in the night the temp drops to the 70s. He doesn't act sick, he's alert when I hold him and he constantly flicks his tongue. He seems completely healthy. It just bothers me that he stopped eating out of no where. Does antbody know what's going on?

Any changes to his tank or any new pets in the house? sometimes to many random houseing changes can mess up a baby snake. What kind of bedding do you use? do you dose your rat pups with any of those liquid vitamins? how big is the tank you have it in? how many hides do you have...I have delt with many sick snakes and have seen alot of problems and fixed alot of them just need more info to better guage if i can help or not. Id take it to a vet to be safe in the mean time.
