My sunglow was extra happy as she was sitting at the front of the cage waiting for that door to slide open like she knew the BP wasnt going to eat it haha.
I wouldnt worry too much as long as your husbandry is good. BPs are not the snakes for people who worry easy haha. They can drive you insane. Get a boa or retic. Mine never refuse food and actually want to eat more than they should which i guess is a worry in itself too 
Yeah, she just shed too. Haha yeah I have a boa too and she never misses a meal in shed or out.

Do you have a weight on that animal?
If could be various things such as what we call "the wall" which is why I ask abut weight, husbandry, catching up to compensate with over feeding etc.
You can do a few different things, change the enclosure, change substrate, downsize, lower temps etc, to see if anything triggers her back but most importantly it's about PATIENCE, they are efficient and that is just what BP do sooner or later.
Last I checked she was around the 1150 mark.Good to hear it's not abnormal. Thanks again for all the help
