I could barely make out what you were trying to say in your post, but it is common for ball pythons to stop eating. One reason for them to stop eating is because their husbandry is wrong. What is the enclosure and temps like?

Most likely. Many snakes will refuse to eat while they are going through the shed cycle, because they cannot see well to strike. She should eat for you now.

In about a month, she may shed again, so in about 3 weeks, start watching for signs: pink belly, bluing (e.g., milky eyes, dull-looking skin). Raise the humidity and don't try to feed until she sheds.
