    I think your enclosure could use some improvements. If you decrease the stress from the enclosure she should eat better. When you first get a snake you should wait 2 weeks before handling, feeding, changing anything in the enclosure, or disturbing at all. There's nothing you can do about it now but hopefully you know for the future. Additionally I think some more cover would help in the enclosure. A snake, especially a shy one like a ball python, should be able to cross the entire enclosure without being seen. If there isn't enough cover they will become stressed. I would also recommend covering the back and sides. A younger, active snake won't poop as much since their body is using up most of the calories and nutrients in the food to grow and there isn't much left over. So she might not have pooped at all and if she did it would be very small and hard to see.
