Sure, as I posted earlier it is uncommon rare even but it has happened and the risk needs to be weighed against benifet. My feeling is easy there is no benifet at all, a skipped meal or two will not have a negative effect on the snake at all. Zero gain, so any unnecessory risk however small is not worth the gain.

BALL PYTHONS: History, Natural History, Care & Breeding, by David G. Barker & Tracy M. Barker. (exact page, I don't have in front of me at this moment)
I hope that will do, the Barkers are one of the most respected breeders in the community they have appeared defending US reptile keepers in federal hearings.
I am not fear mongering just passing facts forward so members may make their own informed decsions.
