about the eating situation I can offer some personal-experience advice .. my first ball python pretty much never refused food .. when she reached about 1kg in weight she suddenly decided to take an 8 MONTH period off feed .. I never tried assist feeding her or whatever, after 8 months she started feeding again and is feeding normaly yet again .. in those 8 months of non feeding she lost about 130g .. so as long as your python isn't loosing weight rapidly you should not worry about it not feeding (of course it depends on how old and heavy the python is .. which brings me to the previous question .. how old / heavy is your python)?
Exact thing happened to me. At about 1,000g she just decided she had enough! I had this happen to a friend as well. That snake is still a picky eater to this day. Fortunately, my snake broke her fast a few months ago and has been eating every week since. What got her to break the fast was bringing home a breeding trio of ASFs
