The female Ball Python is a 99', she was eating rats until she laid her clutch. She went off food for awhile and refused to eat. Now the only thing she will eat is gerbils. Rats were scented with gerbil but she still refused to eat. This ball is owned by someone else.
Thanks Mike

Will she eat F/T gerbils? If so, I'd try dangling a F/T gerbil off forceps to get her attention, and quickly switch the prey item to a F/T rat that has been scented with the gerbil. If that doesn't work, you could try washing the rat to remove it's smell, and then the above sequence.
