Corn wont eat!

Ok, Ive had a baby corn for a while and love it. I recently (little over a month ago) found an adult corn at an adoption place. Hes almost 3 feet long, nice and thick, healthy lookin. They said he was about time to be fed. So i fed him 1 small adult mouse and he was happy. Waited 2 weeks and wasnt sure how often he ate. I thought corns ate more often then my roomies ball python so I fed it 2 weeks later. he didnt eat. waited a week. didnt eat. another week. No eating. So in all its been a month since he last ate and he just smells his food and slithers off to another part of the cage eventually. Am I feeding him too often? How often should the adult be eating. The place i adopted from was really shoddy. Thats the main reason I took him in is because the place had actually injured some spots on his scales by forcefully pulling him out of a little shelter he was hiding in. Help! How often should this guy be hungry???
 
If he's an adult male he may have other things on his mind because it's spring (breeding season)
Unless he's very skinny I would not worry much, a lot of males will not eat for 2-3 months during this time of year.
 
Mine went 3 months. They do fine. Just offer every week or two until he takes it.
 
Mine eats really irregularly. I second Meg's suggestion. Keep offering food weekly, and he'll eventually eat.
