Johan covered it pretty well. Ball Pythons are not the best "show" snakes. They are very secretive and sedative snakes that enjoy spending most of their time hidden away.

In my opinion you should let you snake hide and relax to the point were it starts eating again before taking her out again.

Also If your BP is not eating I can think of 4 possible things it may be:
1. Husbandry is somehow not right. Is her warm side over the UTH about 90 degrees?
2. Your BP does not feel secure and is stressed. Does it have at least 2 hides? Are they identical?
3. Maybe your BP doesn't like mice. Maybe try an appropriate sized rat.
4. Your BP is simply not hungry. BP's can go a long time without eating. During the breeding season my males typically don't eat for about 6 months with no ill effects. Although when they are young they tend to have a good appetite since they are growing so fast.

Also to increase the chance of you BP eating try offering the meal during either dawn or dusk. In the wild this is usually when BP's come out look for food.
