LOL...I meant how big is the snake. I assume she is fairly big and as such should have the fat stores to go some time without feeding. Once we verify the rat is the right size I would suggest you just continue to try with the rat once a week. It may take her longer to settle in but you shouldn't need to worry about her not eating. Keep an eye on her weight and if she still hasn't eatin in a month or 2 then you can start to think about unique feeding options. I have 2 females that go offer feed in Oct and don't start again till spring (then they eat a ton )

I don't think you have anything to worry about...she pry just needs to settle in a little longer.
