    Double-check her enclosure to make sure the t-stat hasn't failed so she's not too hot or too cold. What are her temps and humidity? How is she set up - in a tub/rack system or a tank?

    If 81 is ur hot spot then thats why it not eating probably... It should be more like 88-91.. 75% of feeding problems are husbandry related in one way or another. Pic of setup and snake would help us to...have you been tracking her weight? ?
