Agreed. If not - you're putting your male at risk by not quarantining her. :(

Now that you've explained she's being housed with your male until you get her set-up ready - that's a more likely explanation for her denying food.

The stress of a new home combined with the stress of being forced to share living space with another animal is a more likely explanation for her meal refusal.

But NOW is too late if your new snake has anything wrong with it.
They should have been separated in at least different rooms for at least 90 days.
