I would just be patient at this stage and offer food as normal. If she hasn't eaten in by the end of August then start to worry a little. I have been what you are going through and understand your concerns.

If this is the case wouldn't it be a good idea to slowly drop her temps a little, I would say a hatchling in the wild would be a lot cooler in winter and therefore its metabolism would be slow and the lack of food wouldn't be a big problem, however because she is kept warm her metabolism would stay running as normal and could cause loss of condition.

I personally wouldn't like the idea of such a young snake not eating for so long, while it could probably easily survive, it still could have adverse affects. I would try the skink scenting idea if you haven't already, get a skink from your garden to drop its tail, then you can use it to scent the food item and the poor little skink gets to live, I would just scent around the nose at first because that is where you want it to take it from. Only thing is you might have trouble finding a skink now that its so cold.

I guess you will get a lot of ideas and help, this is just what I would do.

Cheers.
