Jeff,

How long have you had this Ball Python?
I've had some that stopped eating. A couple for almost 2 years, then just resumed like nothing happened.

It may have been stressed from the move and need to settle back in. I'd keep the temps at approximately 75 degrees for a couple of weeks. Make sure it has water, and give it a place to be out of any light if it chooses. Then start the daily lights again. Hopefully that'll get it to eat again. Try a small meal at first. Don't handle it again until it eats.

Ball pythons can stress an owner alot, but be just fine themselves.
