Try a change of food. If she was eating rats, try mice. If she was eating live, try frozen. Believe it or not, I have a snake that has never eaten F/T (he is probably 4 years old). He was my last F/T hold out. Wouldn't touch warmed up rats or warmed up mice. What turned him was a thawed but still cold mouse. I can't say why but it worked. Sometimes change just spurs them to eat.

I have tried mice and she won't touch them. Also, I give her the rats when they are warm, but they sit in her enclosure for awhile till they turn cold, and she won't eat either way. I am wary of trying live with her, first of all because I can't get live rats around here, but secondly I don't want another stubborn live eater who refuses to look twice at frozen. Last year she was pounding f/t rats

I swear somewhere there's a weight watchers program for out pythons and they are all enrolled in the damned prograam. I think they all have weight gain issues like supermodels and that's what drives us nuts. I just wish I could find the network that contacts our pythons and convinces them a months long fasting diet is needed in order to keep their figures.

She just needs a new self image and some self confidence!!
