How long between feeding attempts did you wait? Give the snake a few days (4-5) to calm down before you try again. If you are trying everyday, then you are probably stressing her out. This means don't mess with her for 4-5 days, no handling. You can check on her, but don't disturb her at all. Then what I would do, is pop a head off of a pink, try not to touch it too much. I use tweezers when handling it. (this way my scent doesn't get on the pink) Thaw it out at room temp or in warm water. Put the head and the snake in a deli cup overnite again. If this doesn't work, wait another few days, and maybe try "washing" the pink like some previously mentioned, and do the same thing. (some people also use paper bags, instead of deli cups, I never have though, so I couldn't tell you how to do it)

Good Luck, and let us know how it goes.
