Besides frequent feeding attempts, this would be the other problem. If she's roughly 18 inches, she's a hatchling. A 20 gallon tank is far too large for a hatchling. I'd suggest something smaller until she has a chance to grow out of it. Maybe something like a Kritter Keeper or even a 10 gallon tank. The cage should be downsided though. Once you switch cages, wait 7-10 days before offering a meal. If she refuses, wait a week and try again. That should solve the problem right there. Best of luck! Keep us updated.
