At this size she could fast for a year without issue, what you need to know and understand is that going off feed is OK and the only things that can be done are to examine and fix your husbandry if needed (consider downsizing her enclosure), offer the same type prey that was previously offered by the former owner (different prey type is never a good idea), and most importantly be PATIENT.
The prey is all exactly the same as the breeder was feeding....She hadnt eaten for a week prior to being shipped...her enclosure is half of a T8 = 2x2 feet and a 1 high...using the black medium reptile basics hides...with medium water bowl and some greenery and wood in there to clutter it up...ambient is 78-82 and hot side is 88-90 (temps vary slightly when sun is shining into my room as its a southern exposure primary window.

Guess its just a waiting game...what happens if i see continued weight loss?
