I believe the longest a BP has went without eating was 2 1/2 years. Of course it was an adult though. I think buzzardball was being a “SA” aka smart a** when he said feed it an african rat. He may not have been though. Try a large adult mouse f/t or chub rat pups. Just keep offering once a week. Maybe try like a pinky rabbit. I'm sure if snakes have memories then every time you stick a rat in there, dead or not, the smell of it reminds her of what happened. Eventually she will eat. I had a couple of BP'S that went 6 months without eating and nothing traumatic happened to them to cauce them to stop eating. I hope I helped.
