There are several breeds of snakes the eat fish. Most notably the Gardner snake, who usually feeds on small rodents and bugs, and will occasionally eat gold fish in ponds or little guppies. Something to remember is snakes are opportunistic and will eat what they recognize as food; As for ball python's, there natural habitat is dry grasslands of northern Africa, and that is is unlikely that a ball python would come across large masses of water that have fish. Also from personal experience and soaking my own ball python I have noticed they don't like to get there head's wet. But there is no current evidence that I have seen of a ball python Evan eating small fish, and we don't know how a ball pythons digestive system would react. In all I say you should contact your local reptile veterinarian, and ask him/her these questions. As one problem with fish is that they are susceptible to perisites, and those parasites could be transferred to your ball python, and the ramifications could be bad, but as I said, contact you local vet and see what they say about the matter.
