Woma not feeding

I bought a female Woma python at the Sacramento reptile show a few weeks ago and she seems to be completely uninterested in food. I have offered food 3 times, about a week apart and she shows zero interest as if the food wasn't even there. I first offered a f/t hopper mouse, then a f/t pinky mouse which I left in overnight, then a f/t anole on the third attempt thinking a lizard might get her attention. She's defecated twice since I've had her so I know she was eating before. I have the cage temps at 90 on the warm end and about 78 on the cool end, with paper towel for substrate and fresh water every few days. She seems very healthy and is often on the move around the cage and seems very curious, but for a species with a reputation for being great feeders, it has me puzzled. If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
