There is no need to not offer food. Period end of story. Not offering food can add to the problem.

The not handling is right I agree there it keeps the stress down and lets you focus on getting it back eating

Offer food once a week every week on the same day at the same time. If your offering mice and the snake doesn't kill and eat it set you up a small enclosure for the mouse to keep it till next week.

In the 5 years I have been keeping Ball pythons I have seen them go off feed for many reasons some do it for no seen reason at all. offering once a week give the animal the chance to eat even it doesn't. Not offering means your the one deciding that the snake doesn't eat let decision be theirs. Getting them on a schedule seems to really help with the going off feed. Not to say that they might still for what ever reason but it cuts down on the likelihood of it .

You say he killed the item but has not eaten. I have a few suggestions for you but first I need some info. You say that the temps and humidity are right on so please forgive the question but what is you current hot and cool temps and humidity and how are you monitoring them. What is the animal housed in.
whoops that was an error I mean once a week. Thanks for the save that would have been horrible
