I had same problems with P. molurus. The snake couldn't use its tongue, and first 4 months couldn't eat. Then I took it, and start force feeding it. I couldn't see the tongue when I was opening its mouth, cos it seems that the tongue was covered with mucous membrane, and couldn't get out. After few months of force feeding, python started to use it's tongue! Maybe because of force feeding the python with grown mice, membrane break, and the tongue get out. Soon after, it started to eat by its own. Hope that it will happened with your snake too.
