Often this time of year many snakes slow their eating habits down. Either gravid females are far enough along in pregnancy that they stop eating and males often lose interest in food this time of year and start mate searching. Usualy they will start eating again by September and eat pretty good until mid October. Then they stop a couple weeks before hibernation. How ever if it is a wild caught animal and is stressed it may totaly refuse any meal and then it would need to be released.

I agree with the pigman except, since she ate once she's probably gravid and will go any day,so hang on to her a while, because it is a neat experience.

If you have had it for three months it will probably drop soon. The one I had the same problem with ate around 12 mice before she quit eating. After she quit eating she just started getting defensive towards the mice. Then a few months later she had babies. Your snake already has eaten for you, so that is probably not the problem. She is more than likely gravid. Just keep an eye on your snakes body size. Make sure it doesn't start losing any weight.
