Just had one of my girls eat after four months off. Sometimes I wonder if they worry about getting fat or something, lol.
Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?
Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I wouldn't stress too much as long as the snake is at a healthy weight. It's not uncommon for them to take breaks here and there, especially if they are on the heavy side. Just keep offering food every week. If the snake continues to refuse, try live mice. I always have good luck with that.
Also, did you change anything about the enclosure before the snake stopped eating?

Re: My Ball won't eat.
I have 2 that I picked up 5 weeks ago that have yet to eat. Have tried frozen rats, frozen mice, live adult mice, and live small mice.
The other 3 eat like champs. Everyone says they will eat when ready, that and they have been in the new rack for a week now so a little acclimation time will be needed I am sure.

What is your enclosure size? It's possible that it's too big which can easily overwhelm the snake.

Re: My Ball won't eat.
Sorry didn't respond in so long. Lost my password. That tank might be a bit large. Try maybe a 20 or 30 and see if that helps. Snakes seem to like homes that seem small for them. Otherwise they can get overwhelmed.
