boa feeding problem???

I have male BCI (Hector) thats about 5.5-6 ft and he won't eat!! it's been about a month..3-4 feedings and it's getting frustrating..and concerning, I have never had an issue with him before always had a very strong feeding response, It could be just me but he seems like he is developing some loose skin!!!I am stuck in the middle is because it's that time of year with him being male...I know this common for them to go off feed this time of year, also I have Rocco (another boa) directly under him and Rocco has never been sexed!


Hector's conditions:

~temps~
hot side: 92.3
cool side: 83.5
humidity: between 50-60%
viv size: 4 ftL x 3ftW x 2ftH
Viv type: wood with plexi glass doors
heat source: heatpad with heatlamp only for added heat when I need it!!

Unable to get a recent pic of him up so I can show ya what I mean with his skin but I will work on it!! Any replies are welcome I'm getting worried even though it has not been an extremely long time (a month)
