Bull snakes and pythons are two diferent snakes and are not found together. A hatchling bull snake should be fed on defrosted pinkie mice and a hatchling python should be fed on small adult mice again defrosted. Never feed live food as the snake my be damaged if it strikes the mouse in the wrong place, it is also cruel on the live mice as they have no chance of escape as they do in the wild.
Both types of snake require heat of some sort. Also an escape proof vivarium.
Care sheets and viv set up advice are avalable on my web site

Pythons from the wild have a hard time adapting to a cage. You may try changing the temperature to whatever temperature it was wherever your snake was caught from.
You really have to check for ticks. Depending on where your snake was caught determines what color these ticks will look like. We had in a couple from the wild, however we tried to stay away from these. This was a rescue we were running though and took in many unwanted snakes. Ticks were kinda of pretty for such blood sucking critters, yellow and black etc.
Also is the snakes breathing OK? Dose it sound as if a frog in the throat? This is a respiratory problem and needs to be dealt with.
You snake could be getting ready to shed...
Good luck with your wild snake. Also wild snakes have a tendency to pass on, so just a little heads up. Next snake make sure it is domesticated, used to living in a cage. You will have better results...
Good luck!

When snakes are molting, they generally tend to shy away from food for several weeks until they're scales are fully shedded. After their eyes start to clear up they should normally resume their regular appetite.

I know snakes need to be warmer in order to be hungry. Also, I think they only eat maybe once a month...

warm it up, put a heating pad under the terrarium snakes do not eat when they are cold, they also slow down their eating when they shed.
