As long as the rat did no damage, hunger will eventually take over. Try a small rat or large mouse next week to see if he'll take it. If not give him a couple weeks to think about it and try again. Ball pythons can go for a LONG time without food. As long as he's holding his weight try once a week unless he continues to spook, then go every other week. If he was a good eater before this incedent, he'll come back. Keep us informed.
