First off...
give it time to adjust to a new environment. At least a week.
Hiding is what ball pythons do best.

Second: shed can last about a week. Don't worry. Eyes will blue over, then clear up, THEN it will shed.

third: Get an under tank heating element. (Heat pad) Ball pythons are nocturnal...so they are not much for basking in the light.

Fourth: If after the adjustment period and shedding, it will still not take a frozen/thawed meal...try live.

Good luck.
