Put the snake in with a F/T mouse in a very small container relative to his size. Put him in a dark, warm place (closet or something) and leave him overnight. Otherwise, try fresh killed.
Mites? 2 sheds in a month for a snake not eating makes me think mites are a possibility.

If it was mites, you should be able to see them. Usually when a snake has mites, they are in their water dish contstantly. When you remove them, you'll see dead mites floating around, they are like little black specks.
Try braining, when feeding frozen pre killed after thawing poke a hole in the mouse's head then squeeze a little until yellow secretion comes out, then place in snake's habitat...
