If you can, I'd suggest putting him in a smaller cage until he is bigger. 1.5M is very large and he might be scared. Have you got a heat pad in there, and is he lying on it? Also, how humid is the cage? Have you got a hydrometer to measure this? Have you kept snakes before, and can you recognise if he is about to shed?
Adult ball pythons sometimes go on a fast that can last several months, so i wouldn't worry too much. Just monitor his weight, and try to feed him every week. The biggest thing is to feed him what he is used to eating, in the same way he used to be fed. The pet shop should be able to tell you that, depending on reputability.
