Especially ball python owners should have a notebook or a card, action log whatever for each snake. Every single one of mine have a record. In this one place you write down every shed, poop, feed, weight (you can weigh monthly or bimonthly if they're eating), this way if the animal ever stops eating or needs a vet for any reason you have a full record, no guessing. It will help immensely for any timely potential diagnosis. Snakes or reptiles in general do not show their weakness or illness' quickly. So by the time some notice its far to late. Having this record is also going to make your life easier when the ball does decide to go on a feed strike. And it will happen. No mass amounts of weight lost normal. Lots of weight lost not normal.
