First - in order for us to be able to help you more, we need information about your setup. Just telling us he's not eating doesn't give us any idea as to why
Information that could be helpful - how old is he? What's his setup like? Is he in an aquarium, tub, shoebox? Whats the temperatures on hot/cold sides? Does he have hides? Have you or your lady friend been handling him? If you do handle him, how long do you have him out for?
Stuff like that will let us know if there is a potential husbandry problem that might be easy to fix.

Second... This is a ball python, my friend. They do this sometimes. I have a male whose last meal was in January, and just last Saturday he finally took a rat for me. He didn't lose much, if any, weight, and he's otherwise just fine.
If your snake is not losing weight, and otherwise looks healthy, don't worry about it not eating until at least 6 months have gone by. It's hard to wait but the snake will start eating when it's ready. So...stop worrying! Your snake looks fine

In the meantime, don't handle it much, if at all, and don't move it around or put it somewhere new to live. Stuff like that might stress it out and make it take even longer to start eating again.

Hope that helps!
