She has a good hide box or two? Temps are in the normal range? Humidity levels correct? Photo period I have found is not absolutely important, but could still be a factor. We have a w/c female normal that goes off feed from two months to twelve months periodically, usually in the colder months. That's predictable. This being warmer months, that should not be the problem. Is the prey animal size too large or too small? Do you think she may be a shy eater, like a baby would be? I have seen a few of our adults (various species) actually be shy eaters due to being fed in rack systems, not exposed to the room environment while they ate. At the end of racking my brain for an explanation, that is what I can come up with. At the end of all the trial and error, a vet trip would be a good idea.
