My ball python is 5 days late on eating. She has never refused food before so its really starting to freak me out. She was shedding which she is not anymore and she was wheezing which has also seemed to stop but shes syill refusing food. Right now she is eating small rats 1 time per week is this normal or not. Any suggestions on how to help her eat?

Pretty normal.

Are you offering her a meal every day? If so, stop and wait a full week before offering again.

Could just be the time of year, how old is she?

Age and weight can all play a factor.
How heavy is it?
How often do you offer food?

No reason to worry at 5 days. That's nothing for a snake. Wait a full week and try again.
