Weight loss

So my kingsnake Scarlet Rose is still refusing to eat, her last meal was June 31st. She has had no interest in f/t so I finally wrangled up the guts and split the skull on the last mouse I thawed out for her. I made sure that some juices were coming out and the nose was bleeding everywhere, she was very interested and acted like she was going to take it but never struck. After a few minutes she completely lost interest. This was on the 6th of this month. She shed the day before, is still pooping, active and in general seems normal, except that when I weighed her today she was 22 grams less than when I weighed her on 7/12. I also noticed that she seems a little sunk in and has slight wrinkling on her side. I'm really frustrated and worried at this point and I don't know what to try next. Last year she went off eating from about May to Septemberish if I remember correctly but not once did she have such a drastic and noticeable weight change. I shamefully admit that I haven't been keeping track of her weight until this year but she has weighed the same from March up to July. Should I be worried that she lost that amount in a month's time?
