I'm going to take him to the vet soon, but I wanted to get an idea of how panicked I should be.
If you ever have doubts at all about the health of your animals please schedule a vet appointment always before you come here for advice. My thought would be ticks, which could mean that you bought a wild caught ball python, which could also be carrying internal parasites, those factors could be the reasoning behind the feeding problems.

However we can try to help you rule out other reasons for the non-eating issue out if you can list your tank setup, temperatures, etc.

First I would take him/her to the vet to get a fecal exam, and treated for ticks/mites.
