Definitely try a smaller meal first, and I suggest keeping track of the snake’s weight. That way it’s easier to tell if the lack of feeding is causing any significant weight loss.

How sure are you that she’s female? Is she an adult? It’s pretty common for adult and sub-adult males to go on a feeding strike for a few months in the spring or early summer while they look for a mate.
You can definitely try a pinkie or fuzzy. If the body condition is good and you don’t see any other concerning symptoms, you can hold off on going to the vet.

How warm and cold is her enclosure? Does it have a cold side and warm side, and dark enclosed hides on each side?
