OFF FEED QUESTIONS

[NavyHM]

???
I have a three year old female boa who one day decieded to stop eating. She hasn't fed in over 10 months. She still maintains good weight and is healthy but she hasn't wanted to eat. This is driving me nutts!!!Now i'm a fairly well seasoned breeder and keeper(i've raised boas for the past12 years), but i jus can't get this girl to eat anything. I took her to the vet and she has a clean bill of health. I have played with various sized prey items and types, temperature settings, enclosure/privacy types,and so many different feeding tricks. Still this girl just doesn't want to eat. So I was wondering is you guys have any suggestions for me(beside force feeding). ??? ???
Also what the longest you have seen an aimal go off feed?
Thanks for your imput!!!!
