I have had luck in the past and recently with my off-feeding green anaconda male. Here is what worked after 10 weeks.

Place snake with F/T food in box taped shut or secured in some fashion so she can't bust out.

Place box with her and food inside in her normal cage overnight. Keep room quiet and see in the morning.

Good luck! This worked for some tough feeders of mine.

Not sure why they decide to eat in this environment but it saved my guy.

Have you changed anything in her cage?

Any changes in your home she may pick up on? Cats? New sounds, smells etc?

She may be stressed or hitting sexual maturity. I know anacondas better but it may also be puberty. Some animals go off feeding during this phase I have learned.

Cheers

Tom
