The first answer to 'why won't my ball python eat' is 'Check your husbandry'.
Powerade, Gatorade, whatever, is full of sugar. How many occasions do you think there are when a ball python adds SUGAR to its diet?
If a ball python is actually dehydrated, give it a soak in warm water, and bump up the humidity so it doesn't happen again.
I don't agree with this statement - I have bp's that bounce back and forth from eating good to not eating and I don't believe that it has anything to do with my husbandry. It is a well known fact that bp's will go off feed from time to time.
