Re: Confused... Could use some advice!
prey size may be to big..try a smaller sized prey! I had this problem with a baby spider bp and switching to smaller sized prey and offer more (ie 1 f/t adult mouse I would feed two small hoppers) same mass quanity but smaller sized and it hasnt been a issue since. Hope this helps

Re: Confused... Could use some advice!
How are you offering the prey item? I have some that will take the rat off he tongs if I'm just holding onto the tail. I have others that require me to hold the rat by the scruff of the neck and wiggle it around.

Don't try to feed her tomorrow. If they refuse a meal, make them wait Til their next scheduled meal.
It can stress a Bp out even more if you keep offering food when they don't want it.
I have a few shy girls. Since you're feeding f/t, try leaving the rat/mouse in overnight.

Re: Confused... Could use some advice!
None of mine like the whole "leaving overnight" deal. I also tried heating up the nose with a hair dryer or dunking the prey in boiling water for a few seconds and then offering. The boiled methods words more times than not with my lot of ball pythons.
