I bought a female ball from my local pet store. She was pretty and seemed to be of good weight ... ect. But she wouldn't eat. When I called the pet store they told me not to worry, give it a month or two before getting concerned. It's not completely abnormal for balls to go off feeding or be picky eaters. Give it time, don't handle your snake but offer food every couple of days.

Oh, mine turned out not to be eating due to a blockage. After nearly 2 months she went to the bathroom and it looked like she had consumed some bedding and had fur and other "debris" in her stool while living at the pet store or breeder. Since passing that, she hasn't refused even a single meal (even while shedding).
