Won't eat

Hey there,
So I got 3 years old female pastle and for the past 5 month she didn't eat for me yet shedding (last night were the 3rd time) + pooping.
First- how can she poop and shed every other month without eating?
Second- I know ball python can stop eat for few month but when she "supposed" to start eating again?

Info-
She live inside a plastic tub, hot side stand on 88F, large enough water box (she enter for few days before shed).
The seller said that he were with him her whole life, ate adult rat live \ thawed (tried both even fresh killed).

You'll need to tell us more about your setup for us to be able to help you.

What are your other temps?
How are you heating?
Are your heat sources regulated by a thermostat?
Are there hides offered?
Is the tub in a high traffic area?
Are you handling the snake?

- The temp' stand on 80-81F most of the times.
- Heating with heat pad under tub, thermostat stand under tub and above heat pad.
- Checking inside tub heat with thermometer and heat laser gun.
- There's no hide places
- The tub at my room, quit most of the time with no much movement.
- I did handle her at the beginning, now I don't handle her. I handle her only when I clean her tub once a week for few mins only.

Give us a pic so we can assess how she looks. Odds are she is just doing her thing. Up to six months without eating is not uncommon. Monitor her weight. As long as she does not have a drastic drop she is probably fine.
