can anyone help????

Hi

we bought a royal python about 6 months old, when we got here home she settled down really quickly and was doing great - she was eating well and growing nicley.

unfortunetly we moved about 6 months later and ever since this move nearly 2 years ago now she hasnt been the same. when we first moved here she wouldnt eat for about 7 maybe 8 months so we tmoved her tank thinking she wasnt happy where its was this didnt make any difference. after about 8 months she ate for about 2 and then stopped again - she now hasnt eaten on her own for nearly a year - we have to forced feed her adn even then she quite regualy spits them out - we've run out of ideas can anyone help as shes not the size she should be shes tiny for her age and doesnt look very good. she wants to eat and looks intrested when you first put food in but then changes her mind??? we've moved her tank, changed the substate, her humidty and temp is fine, we tried buying food elsewhere, we even moved her back down to pinkies!! we've heated them up and even rubbed them up and down or geckos to smell different - nothing is working - any ideas would be helpful as we dont want to keep on force feeding her....
