JCP not eating

My jungle carpet python, Leto, is a 2010 male and he's about 4.5 feet long or so. He's normally been eating rats like a champ with no issues. He will normally eat either FT rats or fresh killed, and I feed him once a month. Last week I gave him a fresh-killed rat, and for the first time with fresh killed, he didn't eat it. I then put it in the freezer for later. When I thawed it and gave it to him, he still refused to eat it. He seemed excited with a lot of tongue-flicking, but more interested in me. I even dangled it in front of his nose and put it right on him, and still no interest! See the pic...

I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe the temps are too low? I have two heaters in there (not sure of the wattage) but they don't seem to be able to get it hotter than 86 or so.
