    You will have that at times, I have some picky eaters, some finicky eaters & some who are garbage disposals who'll eat anything,

    What is the snakes set-up like?
    What are your temps & humidity?
    What size is she?
    What are you feeding her?

    Are they by any chance in the same tank/tub? Some times it can be a dominance thing.

    Some ball pythons would not eat if they are housed in the same place with others...others wont mind...Try putting it in its own enclosure

    You separate them. It is pretty simple. I am sure once you separate them the other will start eating again.

    for the rest of it life . since it stressing out with a cage mate. ball pythons don't live together they are sinlge living reptiles and only search out other when t time to mate..

    I have a rescue who was kept with anothr bp and the one ate fine the other would only eat at random times. since I have palced it in a cage by itself it ate and calmed right down not roaming around like it lost.

    It does spend much of it awake time watching me when I am in the room like now lol..
