You can't get anything in between?

Wait until the next scheduled feeding and try again. It seems like you are trying to introduce food to often. Slow down and take some of the advice these guys/gals have given and wait it out. If your snake is not loosing weight or becoming ill, i think it will be fine. Have you checked your animal for any type of illness/mites? I don't even own a snake yet, but i do spend about 8 hrs a day researching these forums and reading every little bit of information i can about constrictors. I know you mentioned that you bumped the temps up, but i don't remember you saying if you had a thermostat or not, or if you had a temp gun to double check your numbers?

From the picture, I believe she has a hydrofarm. But I definitely think the temps need to be double checked with a gun

yah i'm waiting a week just thought i'd do the last try cause it worked last week when she ate. I havn't checked for illness/mites but i can tell she doesnt have either cause she acts normal... outside the food thing although for bp's i know its normal for fussiness. i'll wait the week and try the small prey again or do u think i should just try the bigger one? temps are good 90 hot 80 cold and 88 and 77 at night. food prep i did the dethaw, heat up with hot water, zap with hairdryer, place inside hot hide. Thats the prep I have done. last week it seemed to work nut not now should i use the same prep or try something else?

I'd go for the bigger prey item.

I have a bumblebee female that's really really REALLY picky as well. When I get her rats I have the pet store rub shavings from different types of rodents all over them and leave a lil bit in the box with the rat. This usually picks her interest back up and she starts feeding again
Gotta love picky BPs

This could also be that she can't find a place to settle in (stressed out).

It's also October. All my snakes except the spider and the bumblebee went through a fast during this time when they hit about a year old. The Yellowbelly went on a 3 month fast which got me psyched! I didn't change anything, continued to offer prey as usual without any changes until he ate. They went on fast again in January (Florida winter) when the humidity dropped. Had to swap substrates to cypress to up the humidity.

Thanks I'm hoping this is what that is

Not sure if this is of relevance but maybe. I have noticed that she is spending 80% of the time in the cold hide. My temperatures are exactly those i explained above and humidity at a good level. The hides are exactly the same. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but it does seem a little odd because she use to love her warm hide.
