Don't panic just yet. Ball pythons typically go off feed from about October till February or March. This is their breeding season and both males and females will go off for a time. The temp is OK for the cool end, but needs to be about 90 degrees for basking on the other side. Sometimes the extra heat will be enough to trigger him to eat. Just warm him up a bit and offer him some dinner about once a week till he accepts it. I have a female who typically goes 7 to 9 months out of the year without eating weather or not she becomes gravid. Just keep an eye on his weight.
