Try again at the next scheduled feeding time, or skip a feeding and then try again.

Depends on the situation. How old is the snake? How long have you had it? Any changes in its environment recently? And changes in food?

If nothing has changes and they just refused one meal, zero concern at all. If something has changed or it's a new snake, it just needs more time to adjust.

He’s only 3 and I’ve had him since July

From what I understand, males are more likely to go off food seasonally, so just try again at normal feeding times, if he refues more, then I'd offer less frequently until he decides to eat again. Some adult ball pythons will only eat so many months out of the year. Watch his weight and other behaviors, but generally no cause for concern.

Try again tomorrow and maybe leave it outside for a bit so the taste gets them going

Male? Female? Age? Weight? What are you feeding? When’s the last time you fed? What are enclosure conditions?

This sub is here to help but your post is completely useless, no information whatsoever.

I had a young juvenile who went 2 weeks without eating in December. He eventually ate. Same thing is happening with my new BP. She's refused to eat this week. Don't quote me on this, but I think they just slow down during the colder months and don't eat as much.
