An under the tank heating pad designed for reptiles works well for providing the cage heat, with an incandescent bulb or ceramic heating element used to provide the basking temperatures. Never use hot rocks, and the bulb or heat element should be placed or screened off to prevent burns. Ball Pythons are nocturnal, so have no special lighting requirements. Provide a dish of water large enough for the snake to soak in to meet its humidity requirement. Soaking is especially important during sheds.
Ball pythons are somewhat notorious for refusing to eat.
As long as body weight and condition are maintained, this is not problematic, and indeed a ball python will occasionally fast for a couple fo months, and like some other reptiles often fasts before a shed. Usually a snake refuses to eat due to stress, so carefully examine the husbandry, handling, health, and environment of the snake. Inc.
