    It's probably just her being a ball python.

    Have you gotten her new hides? The half-log ones don't offer a lot of security. Tell us about your setup to see if we can help identify some problems that might cause her not to eat.

    I have replaced the log with a shoebox with 2 holes in it, hope it is ok? And don't mind the messy room, doing some cleaning.

    I would find a smaller hide and use that one when she gets older/bigger. Also, put one on both sides so she has the choice to sit on the cold side or hot side. One last thing, cardboard can harbor bacteria, so try something like a butter container (after you've used the butter) or a small plastic bowl like that. Those work great for hides. I use them in my cages for hatchlings and my corn snakes.

    After that, give her a few days to settle into her new home without handling then offer food.

    In most cases with new owners BP will not eat because of husbandry issues.

    Enclosure too large, temps not adequate, hides too large etc.

    Assess your husbandry make changes to provide optimum conditions, leave your BP alone (No handling) for about a week and offer food again.
