My snakes don't eat for 7-8 months of the year. You don't really need to worry just yet esp if it had some good size on it. Try live or fresh killed if you get really really worried.

My snakes are in Sydney too. I stopped feeding them in May, offered them food last weekend and only 20% fed.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Thumbs up

Python eating a bit of an enigma, Diamonds even more so. She'll be fine.

Yeah you dont need to worry unless the snake starts to lose condition, a healthy adult python would easily last a year without food if it had too.
