When I first got my ball python he did not eat for two monthes, but that was because he had a bad infestation of mites. Check your snake for parisites. If he/she doesn't have any then it is most likely that he is adjusting to his enviroment and will eventually eat. If you are feeding live try frozen/thawed, some ball pythons are picky eaters. Try feeding at night when it is dark that is the best time to feed. If you feed frozen thaw out the mouse untill it is good and warm then grab a pair of tongs and dangle the mouse in front of your snake. It might take anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 minutes for him to strike at it. If this does'nt work try cutting a hole in the head of the mouse and allow brain matter to spill out, this scent might attract the snake. This is all I can think of for now, ask me if you have any questions.
