I've read through all the advice that was given to you regarding your Indigo slowing down on her eating. I can say that there are a lot of smart folks on this forum. I wish I had some of you to help me years ago as I learned the hard way most of the time.
The advice you recieved was great and the only thing I might add is to lengthen the light cycle for that snake as well as keeping it warmer and increasing the humidity. Also decrease the size of the food item until it starts to pick up. Have you checked it out for parasites? You may want to ask a Vet about giving it something like panacur or flaygl. But don't expect it to start chowing down til spring, even if it eats, it won't eat much til then.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Chuck
