I think the biggest problem is when you are feeding your snake. ball pythons eat mostly in early evening and over night, not during the day. During the day they sleep, probably don't even know there is food till it has long gone cold.

I can't see why you are not able to feed at night, unless you work graveyards..but even then, better to offer food early evening than in the morning (and I am assuming morning is around sunrise or later). But nobody works 7 days a week, so feed on your days off if its a matter of being gone to work.
