Double check temps, real early in the morning, round stupid o'clock... other then that, I dunno. If he's usually a good eater I'd suggest that he'll return to eating like a champ when he gets hungry enough.

depends on where u are in winter snakes normally dont eat due to it being cold, another thing could be that if u not long got him, he could be stressed from the move, could be many things why he is not eating, but give him a few days alone dont go near check water make sure its ok and give him a break from trying to feed him cause u trying to get him to eat could stress him out also so maybe try a week to two weeks without feeding him. But dont panic as they tend to not wanna eat sometime through out there life Good luck

As has been suggested, non feeding can be a result of many things. Temperatures, stress, illness or some just stop feeding and start again later. 2 or 3 weeks isn't a long time to go without feeding. So long as the temps are appropriate and your snake is healthy there is no reason for concern just yet. My advice would be to monitor the night time temperatures and leave him alone for a week or two.
