That's pretty common for shy eaters. I have two het clown females who have done this in hr past, so I scent the herp room well before feeding. My shy eaters are kept higher up on my racks so they don't get stressed from any movement in the room.

13 days isn't an excessive time between meals by ball python standards. Especially if he's a yearling. Depending on his weight (you'll want to get a gram scale), a small rat would be preferred over mice (unless your snake will readily take more than one prey item at feeding).

Before feeding your snake again, make sure you're husbandry is spot on. Most BP who refuse to eat meals is due to a change in their husbandry (you can do a forum search for a proper setup).
