Weird feeding behavior

My ball python is approximately 15yo, give or take, and from January till April, it did not eat. It started feeding again in the middle if April but its really weird. He doesn't strike at the food anymore, he just searches around for the head and it takes close to 30 min just to get him to bite it. After eating, he won't be interested in eating at all for 2 weeks. How come his feeding response has changed so much? Has anyone else had this problem? He's always been my best feeder, never refusing a meal even when in shed. He used to be my garbage disposal when one of my baby retics doesn't eat. Should I be concerned? Feeding him is just really annoying now cuz eventually my hand gets tired from wiggling the rat around in front of him for so long.
