For one thing, the snake is now an adult, which means it is more likely to take cues fronm the time of year (temp changes, light cycle, etc). It may be that she is more likely to feed on live mice at this time of year. It is also likely that she may go off feed by November and not feed until February. Or not.

To answer your question, let the snake get hungry. Don't offer live for 2 weeks and see if she'll take thawed.
