By FAR the most common reason for an animal not to eat is improper husbandry. This is not meant to be an attack on you. You have a huge snake who is not overtly ill, so you must be doing most things right!
There are very specific temps that your snake needs to digest, and if she doesn't have them, she won't eat. What your snake is doing is not normal. Since she lives in a small box in your home, there is probably something that is not quite right there.
Without much more specific information on how you care for her, no one here will be able to help you. I do not believe that there is any specific veterinary, or behavioral reason for what you are seeing, although a visit to a vet just to rule out parasites and other oddball things would not be the worst idea.
Cheers
