If your snake is maintaining weight, still alert and active, not wheezing, yawning constantly or showing any other signs of ill health, you have nothing to worry about.
Ball python, especially adults often fast during the winter months. It is not any concern for us owners at all, as long as no other signs of illness are detected (ie loss of weight, or as listed above). Ball pythons can easily go 4-8 months without eating without any significant loss of weight. Just a few posts below, a ball python owner had their adult snake go 9 months without food before he started eating again.
I would wait a couple weeks, offer a rodent a size or two smaller than he would normally get, if he doesn't take it, try again in another two weeks.
