Are the pair housed together?
It's more common to bring them out from cooling separated and place the pair together after the females first shed. Several years ago I had one female that refused to feed. Almost 3 weeks out of cooling and still not feeding. I put the male in, they immediately starting breeding, and after that, she was back to feeding.
If they are together, separate them and see if that helps. Not all pairs behave the same. Not all snakes behave as expected. I guess they haven't read the books.
