It's possible she will not eat because she is about to shed. Try again after she sheds. A couple extra days without eating will not kill a healthy snake.

Many snakes refuse to eat when they are blue. I often find that when I have a snake that refuses for no reason, the next time I check on that snake it is now blue, and I just couldn't tell when I was attempting to feed. It's ok; your snake will resume feeding after she sheds. In about a month, start watching to see if she is blue before you thaw out her mouse and then just skip that meal, or two, if she is, because she has told you she doesn't like to feed when she is blue.
