Not eating

Hot spot is at 90 cool at 75. Humidity is at 55. I'm using accurate devices such as temp gun. I'm not sure about her weight but she was hatched in October.
She was eating fine prior to this two week strike.
Is there anything I should change? Best way to end this strike?

is she going into shed maybe? 90% of the time when one of my snakes miss a meal or two, the next day I see them go blue or get a pink belly indicating they are going into shed.

There are a few things it could be. First, are there anybsigns of illness like an RI or burn or anything else? What type of prey are you offering? Are you feeding separate or in her enclosure? I guess let's start with that and we can work from there. Also I would raise that cool side to 80.

I'm offering pinky mice currently. She was rejecting fuzzies. Should I try rat pinkies? I don't take her out of her enclosure to feed. And she has no signs of illness.

She could. I feel like she was just blue but I'll check on her

This chart should help with what type of prey to offer. Are you feeding live or f/t?

I'm offering f/t. Should I try live to get her eating?

No, not necessarily yet if she has already taken frozen thawed. I would make sure the prey item is a good temp so she can sense it's heat. You can also use your tongs or hemostats to kind of make it "dance" in front if the snake. A lot of people do this with f/t to get the snake interested. Use the temp gun when you thaw the mouse and read it's temp. I believe it should be at least 100f but I'm not 100% because I feed live. Also, since you are feeding f/t, hoe long are you leaving food in there before removing it if she doesn't want it?

I do pretty much all that. She is a little pink on the belly so she may be about to turn blue.
I usually leave food in overnight.
Before me she was on live and I don't think she fully switched over.

It might be just that simple then. Taking longer to switch or starting to shed
