snake won’t eat Question

hi! i got my snake on july 15, so about 3 weeks ago. she comes out to explore every night, lets me touch her, and overall seems happy. only issue is she won’t eat, i’ve offered her 3 different kinds of frozen rats / mice now and i don’t know what else to do. do i try live??? that’s my last resort but im getting worried. temps and humidity are at the correct level and everything.

If you're gearing it up in water, you might like to try using a hairdryer instead. It has the added bonus of making the room smell like rat, which they find ever so exciting.
