What to do?

I would still give her a year or two before breeding, it's not unusual for an animal to breed at 3 or 4 or even 5 years of age for the first time, but the industry tend to want to breed ASAP or at least within 2 years/3 years while it works with some animals it just does not for others, some will mature slower than others.

My guess she will likely be a smaller female however I would still feed her for a year before attempting breeding, I did years back bred a smaller older female (around 1100 grams) knowing she would probably be one of those smaller female and and it did kick start her appetite she is a great feeder now but not a huge female she is in the 1800/2000 grams range at 10 years old

What I would do with her now if you have not done so already is have her in a 12 or 15 quarts tub max with coco coir substrate, and offer food. After that play around with temperatures, take her for a car ride (you would be surprised how moving around in a snake bag for an hour can affect them).

Try different food within reason mice, rats, asf, I don't recommend anything else.

Thanks Deborah. This sounds worth a try. I'll give them a shot as I am running out of ideas. I've heard that some snakes will not switch back off ASFs once they've had them. Is that correct?

My Lemon Blast was a picky eater and in almost the same situation.
I took a chance and paired her with my Axanthic Het Albino.
Got one good egg (which sucked) but she is eating great now.
Havent bred her since mainly because I don't have any plans for her genetics at the moment.

Thanks Pit. Going from your experience, it sounds like my choice is to try and breed and perhaps get an egg or two, if she even goes. Or wait another year and see if I can get her to start back up. Kind of 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. Either way it doesn't bode well for chances of producing something from her this season. I'll probably give her another year and then if she still isn't cooperating, I may have to try breeding her anyways.
