Try a fuzzy first off... may as well brain it too. Wiggle it around on forceps to see if u can get her to take it. If just not interested, push it in the hide she's in (if in one) and leave it overnight. If that is a no go, try putting her in a inside out pillow case with a brained fuzzy on cool side of cage overnight. Keep handling to a minimum to reduce stress. Check your cage temps/humidity/hides to make sure ur husbandry is in line. Examine for possible problems (resp, mouthrote, mites ect). I'm out of ideas if nothing in there works. I've had snakes not want to feed in winter, but none of my (limited number) of carpets.
