Hey spudfish,
Check your temperatures first, make sure they are correct. Don't handle him too much, let him settle in for a week or two.

People will also need more information in order to help you -

How old is your python?
What are the temps in the enclosure now?
When did he shed last?
What type of enclosure do you have him in, and what size is it?
They are just the questions I can think of first up.

Typing 'not eating' and similair phrases into the search function at the top right hand may bring up some helpful info in previous threads for you.

how are you defrosting the food item?
What size food item are you offering?
what are the temps in both hot end and cold end?

As others have said , you need to supply us with more info ..
I would also check back with the breeder you got it off , they should be able to offer the best advice if they all ready had it feeding .

There are stacks of threads on not feeding , have a look through this lot too .

Temps ? probably the most important thing ...

If its shedding and your hot end is around 31 it should be fine , just wait till its shed and try again .
