Even when we are using Herpstats (much more accurate), we still verify the temps with a thermometer. Here are some examples of the kind of thermometer I'm suggesting:

As far as problem feeders, here is what I do (assuming temps are correct) I use sort of deep cypress mulch for bedding and black out/cover the sides of the tub. I provide hides and clutter up the tub with crumpled paper. I also limit handling to the minimum required for water changes and other maintenance. Basically, the snake is left alone in the dark, in the hopes that this will eliminate stress. After a week or so of alone time, I offer live prey, but something smaller than normal, like a decent sized rat pup/ weanling for an adult. I just put the prey in, cover everything back up and go away for a bit. I offer no more often than every 7 days. This method has worked well for me in the past.

Also, I can't remember if this has already been mentioned, but you may want to treat her for internal parasites. Sometimes that will kick them back into eating.
Would a temp gun work for a thermometer or is it better to have a thermometer. i have a temp gun . And thanks im gonna cover that thang up right now
