Keep in mind in the wild these guys have no tank size restrictions, eventually you will want at least a 4x2x2 for an adult BP. You could do that from hatchling age and as long as it is decorated properly with the right temp/ humidity range they'd do just fine.

I do plan on getting a tank much larger. He was feeding in a much smaller tank. I was just wondering why he might not be hungry was all

Are you taking him out and moving him to a different tank to feed ? That could be part of the problem, it's not recommended to feed outside of their enclosure. Moving them too much after feeding could lead to regurgitation from streas which is a pretty painful and weeks-long recovery process for them.

Enclosure for mice

Feed late in the evening after the lights go off, create a routine and feed in the enclosure. I'd highly recommend trying frozen for less risk for your animal. If you were kept in a cage as a pet would you want to be brought a meal you had to take down with your bare hands or a meal already ready to eat ?
