You want to clutter the cage because ball pythons naturally live in small cramped rodent burrows, so they feel more comfortable in small confined areas rather than really roomy spaces.

Your snake is probably just weak from the stress of you assist feeding.
Not even close to accurate. The snake is weak due to mal nourishment from not eating. When a hatching goes more than a month no food they need to be assist fed, not pan it out if they eat or dont eat.

You will soon learn this when you get babies that hatch and dont eat for a month and you have to assist feed them. This snake needs to be set up properly and assist fed to get it to gain weight before letting it eat live
