from what I hear they go off food when breeding. So that is normal and she is big enough to not worry for a while. When she does take food again and you follow what the other poster stated I might also suggest hitting it with a blow dryer right before offering ...that seems to help as well. (when I fed F/T) Also ....just in case....if you are feeding live do not leave the live rat in with the snake and walk away. I am sure you are not...but just wanted to put that out there.
