Some thoughts...

It is winter and perhaps that individual snake, in her new cage was more exposed to winter cues and won't eat until it's got solid spring time cues.

A possibility: I've had a snake that was born here, put on good body weight greedily accepting thawed pinks. It got shipped out to a new owner as part of a pair and was so traumatized by shipping it never got back into a good feeding mode and withered away refusing meal after meal. It's mate arrived in the same box and began chowing down like nothing was wrong.

So on occasion I think that individual indigos can get "shocked" by too much change and don't seem to recover. I really hope this isn't what's going on there.

You might consider increasing her light exposure and daytime hours... even a little extra heat might be in order.

Good luck Paul.
