Ball Python went from eating to not eating for over a month!!

Nothing has changed since he went from a 20 gallon long to the T8 and that’s been over 8 months. I feed small to medium live rats. The temperatures are 73-76 on the cool side, 97-99 on the hot and the humidity between 60% and 70%. And lastly, I use reptichip as substrate and he seems to like it. On the assist in shedding, when I see the skin start pulling off or away from his body I usually end up peeling it all off just to get it off quicker, but that shouldn’t have anything with him not eating???

I think that’s it. He lives the life of a king, but yet isn’t eating. Hopefully he will eventually.

If your hot side is really 97/99 degrees you are kinda cooking him alive. I’d try dropping that immediately down to 88 degrees. Yes that’s way to hot, at that temp he’ll be the king of pain. And he really doesn’t need any help shedding, there’s another giant red flag, your husbandry sounds a little wack my friend.
