Only a couple of mouths, hatched this year.

I'm not a 100% positive but I thought that only male went off food for breeding season. But thank you for responding so quickly it's very much appreciated.

both males and females can go off their food during breeding season mate,at that age,its not breeding season issues imo

being that young,he most likely feels vulnerable and is being very defensive

leave him in peace and quiet,then offer prey in 7 days time,if he's hitting the glass a lot,cover the front of the tank with something

what are you keeping him in ?

if its a fish tank,or tank where the sides,back and front are see through,then this can cause the snake to feel insecure,that can lead to defensive strikes,if so,just tape wrapping paper on the outside,of the sides and back,this will only leave the front open and make the snake feel more secure

cheers shaun
