You do realize that this is the natural time of year that Ball Pythons normally go off their food. It's not a true brumation period, but they can go without food for a few months. This will give you time to find a job and get back on your feet. Lower your temps by about 5 degrees. No lights during the day or night. I've heard of people that use tanks, will cover the tanks so that the snakes aren't disturbed. The snakes may still be active, but that's not normally the case. They slow down and don't do a lot, they will mostly stay in their hides.
This may sound cruel, but trust me, this is natural.
Good luck!
