How long have you had her? What type of enclosure? How are you measuring temps and humidity? How are you heating it and is it on a thermostat?

If you've had the snake for years and it just now started refusing to eat, it's most likely not the enclosure but the more frequent feedings, in addition to the time of year. But it never hurts to double check husbandry just in case.
Thank you

I got her at the beginning of October just after her shed, she is in a wooden vivarium and it is being heated by a combination of a ceramic bulb in a cage during the day and a heat mat overnight, both are controlled by thermostats. I have thermometers and hydrometer in the vivarium but I also have a gadget that I point in the tank to make sure my other in tank measurers are still working fine. She is on coconut fibre substrate and has two hides and a large water bowl.

I did up the size of her rats too just before she stopped eating and I’ve since gone a size down.

Other than this reluctance to eat and refusal to strike she is healthy and happy enough. She spends most of her time in her hides and tends to have a little wander in the middle of the night around 3am.
