Feeding Problem

My corn snake Amun is not eating like she usually does. She eats a small mouse every 2 weeks. She's never missed a feeding or never has shown no interest in feeding.

However I went to feed her yesterday, and she didn't take the mouse right away. So I left her for about a half hour with it and it was still there. So I put her back home and waited until tonight. Again, no interest in the mouse what-so-ever, I even tried bleeding it.

She doesn't look like she's about to shed. Usually her eyes glaze over, she's an albino so its easy to tell. I'm not to horribly worried yet, I'm gonna wait until Sunday and try again. But any advice as to why she wouldn't be eating would be great!
 
I got her when she was very small. I don't know her exact age, but I've had for almost 2 years and she's almost 3 feet.

I don't know for sure it its a he/she.

Hmmm, well I'm thinking she might be he, and is exhibiting a late spring feeding strike upon coming into sexual maturity.

My 3 year old male just decided to start eating again after about month off. He was looking for a lady. ;)

Honestly, though, I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a prolonged issue. Sometimes they just miss a feed. I would just wait a week and then try again. Healthy adults can go quite a while without food.
 
Thank you for the advice. He/she :) seems very healthy to me. She is very active in her cage as usual.
