2nd Time of not feeding

So, I have this 3ft long male snake that is of breeding age that won't eat. This is the second time of not feeding that has happened so it has been around a month that he has regurged and then not eaten again. He eats one small mouse every week and has never shown signs of being a non-eater. I have had him for almost a year now and he has eaten every time so far. I'm beginning to think that maybe he has something wrong with his stomach and am most likely taking him to the vet on Friday, unless you guys can think of anything else that might be wrong. I have followed all of the "regurge instructions" but he still isn't eating.

Well thanks in advance for help,
Amelia
 
So he regurged a month ago and has not eaten since?

Could it be that his lack of interest in food is more due to the time of year (breeding) and just happens to coincide with having a regurge?

I'm not sure what else might be going on. It seems that going off food isn't unusual for breeding age males this time of year. It might just seem more significant because his last feeding was a regurge.
Can you think of anything that might have contributed to why he regurged before? Temps? Handling? Other stress?
 
I was thinking it may have been because of the time of the year. But the last regurge was from a meal he had eaten around a week before, and it came about while we were feeding him again. So he hasn't pooped since "the first" feeding either. I don't think much has changed in his area, so I don't think it could be temps, stress or handling. He did have a bad shed awhile ago, but that was a few months ago, and he was feeding after that very well. So I'm not sure whether there is something wrong or, just the season. I hope this has helped a little as to what is going on.
