not eating for 2 months

I am a first time snake owner and I had him for about 9 months , he is about 3-4 years old

He refuses to eat for last 2 months. I tried to feed him every 2 weeks- still no success.

He was normaly eating large mice but for last 2 months the only time he ate was when I gave him 2 small ones. that was about 1 month ago. then I tried with a large one again- nope.

few days ago he ate a fuzzy ( i gave it to him because i defrosted it for another tiny snake but the small snake was blue so i did not feed her).
When i saw him eating a fuzzy, I defrosted a small mouse for him to follow- nope.

He did not shed skin since last september.

Otherwise he seems healthy.
What do do? is he resting because it is winter?
 
It's breeding season, he might be put off food because he might be more interested in mating than food ;)
 
jagz is right he might wanna mate more than eat right now so dont worry quite yet because snakes can go a good while without eating. maybe the adult mice are to big for him and thats why he feeds on the fuzzies. just a thought tho
