You may have to stop handling her all together for a while. If you are feeding in a separate enclosure, you may want to keep her in her usual enclosure from now on. If she is in a rack system without hides, add one. When it comes to feeding time, do not remove the hide and offer the prey through the hide entrance. (I do not reccomend you do this with live, you never know if the rat is biting her). Remove the hide if you are feeding live. Hides can do great things in making a snake feel "safe". I offer all my shiest snakes a hide even though they are in a rack system. This usually gets them to eat. try to make sure the prey does not touch her. If she is not used to F/T, do not hover the food over her head. Lay it flat on the floor of the enclosure and lightly tap it against the floor so she can feel the vibration.
