Or maybe it is just common for ball pythons to stop eating for months at a time. Is this post serious?

It's normal, and from what I understand, Ball Pythons are notorious for this.
My 5 month old female 100% Het Piebald ate like a giant (434 grams), then decided to stop eating for nearly two weeks. I just kept leaving f/t small rats on her cage floor anyway. Last night, she gobble up both f/t small rats, so I'd say her hunger strike is over. [But her sister (600 grams) may be starting to strike now. LOL]
Just keep leaving her food. She'll eventually eat again...but only when SHE wants to eat again. =)
