She's not eating

My new 0.1 spotted python will not eat!
The last owner had some problems with her eating when I got her and I asked him when she last ate and he said it was about October.. I did not want her to be put to sleep because of it so I brought her home. She will still not eat. Anyone got any ideas except for force feeding? :crying:
 
What have you tried?

I get my prey really warm and blowdry it so its not wet. Then dangle from tongs if they eat they eat and if not I try in a week. If this snake was on rats use them or whatever the previous owner was using. You can try braining or scenting, leaving it overnight, or at this point due to it being a few months even live.

I've tried braining it, cutting the belly of the mouse (It's on adult mouse), tried feeding it pinkies (With the same methods). Did not try to leave it overnight or blowdry the mouse after getting it hot (How do you get it so hot? Just warm water like always and blowdry after?) I think the only thing that's left before force or assist feeding her is try to feed live, but then I can have a problem with her not going back to frozen/thawed later..
