I've noticed that some snakes that eat a lot will tend to be the ones that will start to hold out on me, so I will hold out on her first, offering food less often, and reducing the prey size or the number of items offered.

If your husbandry is good, I would up the hot side to 93 or so, wait two weeks, then on feeding day up the heat to 95 in the morning and offer a small rat that evening. It works for me, and like I said in the other thread, I'd rather have a snake that is consistently eating one small rat, or a couple of mice, every two weeks, than a snake that will only occasionally eat a medium rat or 3-4 mice. After a month or two of that schedule I start to offer a small rat weekly with the rest of the collection and see how it goes. if she's still refusing, keep to the twice a month schedule. If that doesn't work, I just offer every two weeks and accept that they sometimes just don't want to eat for a while, but that trick usually keeps them eating consistently.
ok thank you, that was very helpful. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again!!
