Is his temperature correct in the vivarium? How about the humidity? Is he getting ready to shed? Snakes usually get grumpy and don't eat right before they shed.
At any rate, wait at least 1 week between attempted feedings-any sooner will just upset him.

What are the temperatures in the enclosure? Do you have hide spots? What are you feeding (live or pre-killed)? How long have you had the snake? Some people swear by dipping a pre-killed mouse (or pinkie or whatever size he's eating) in Cambell's chicken soup - don't ask me why - before feeding it to the snake. You can also try leaving the food right outside the opening to the hide spot, so the snake feels safe while eating - it can pull the food into the hiding spot to swallow it.

Tyr soaking the prey into chicken broth and dangle it over your snake head.

Well snakes can become anorexic and they wont eat you need to take your snake to the vet otherwise it will starve to death.
