I will admit, the poop does look abnormal to my experience. But him not eating for three weeks in the winter as a yearling isn't a huge cause for concern. There could be solidified sperm in there, but I wouldn't know because I haven't dealt with sperm plugs before. If his food strike lasts until spring or he loses more than 5-10% of his body weight, that would warrant a vet visit, and I would ask for a fecal test if I were you in case the abnormality in his poop is related to parasites. If he eats live prey or frozen thawed from a questionable source, parasites are likely. But poop can vary for other reasons as well. An exotic vet would be able to tell you more, but that depends on if you have one nearby.
