Also, I would bump my temps up a bit (82/85 - 90/92) and make sure the are consistent day and night to see if I could get her out of her rut. Our male spider JUST ate last week after a 10 month fast. All we did was offer food once a week till he was ready to eat.
I agree that for not having taken nourishment for 11 months she looks and act pretty darned fine. I don't know if you can see them in the pics but my therms are set to 84 cool and 93 warm. That gives me a pretty constant 82/91 on the inside thermometers. I avidly watched my temps last winter b/c our house is drafty. I"m giving her a little while longer and then it's off to the vet.
