call the vet .... You can over feed your snakes which will make them sick and can possibly kill them. Look at the cage, look to see if your snake has had a bowel movement! You shouldnt feed your snakes until then. Most snakes eat once a week on average. 2nd possible reason he isnt eating could be he is ready to shed. Snakes in the wild can go 6 months, due to hybernation etc.. exotic snakes will quit eating during mating season,... doubt that is your snakes problem.
Do not know a lot about ribbon snakes. However, I own a Ball Python and a King Cal snake. You really should call the vet or your local pet store to find out any possible reasons concerning your type of snake.
Good luck, hope your snake gets to feeling better.

If summer season climate dries up their atmosphere they might replace into dormant till circumstances boost.

Ribbon snakes infrequently chew if dealt with, yet they do secrete a undesirable musk from their anal glands while alarmed.
