When to worry about a sand boa

I have an 07 Kenyan Sand Boa that's got me a little stressed out.

She's only eaten twice this year... 1/5 and 4/11, but she's only lost 4 grams since 12/6. She's currently 100g.

I think part of the current problem is I brought home a male KSB on 4/10. The first two weeks he was home, she cruised her tank incessantly even going so far as to climb her thermometer when she's never left the ground before.

I keep telling her she's not gonna get to "meet" the boy for awhile, he's only a few months old and 8 grams!

Do I just wait her out and wait till she decides she's hungry? When should I take more drastic measures?

:headbang:
 
The KSBs at my work have only eaten twice this year. The female will "kill" her mouse and then leave it alone, while the male completely ignores his mouse. They are probably 220 and 150 grams, respectively. I'm guessing it's fairly normal...
 
tnx. it's just unusual for her. she's usually all about food!

She'll usually strike at her food, but i think it's more a "get out of my face!" reaction than anything else.

The kingsnake isn't complaining that the sand boa keeps wasting food!
