Hi James
I cannot say "Don`t worry" but I would like too. Some of my european and asian ratsnakes like mandarins and situlas only eats in the Spring and again a little in the Autum. My old pair of mandarins only ate 3-4 pinky rats every year for about 8-9 years. What you should be conserned of is the condition of the snake. If they stop eating there could be something wrong, but not always. Look at the snake. Does he/she look healthy. Look at the weight. Loosing weight is a BAD sign. Maybe offer some new habitats: colder warmer more moisture and finally try additional food items. I have had some success with very small mice or rats boiled for 5 seconds or smelling of lizard digestions. Try......
You can always write me if there is additional questions
Best wishes¨and good luck
