Do non-sexually mature BP's refuse food due to winter/breeding season?

Also of note....she doesn't get fed in her enclosure. She gets fed in a separate enclosure. I know there is mixed feelings on that subject.

Ball pythons are not aggressive so they cannot be "trained" to be aggressive by feeding them in their enclosure. If the only reason you open their tank/tub is to feed them, yes they are going to be to eat and prepared to strike anything warm...what do you expect? But that's still not aggression, that's a feeding response.
