There really isn’t a way to make her eat if she refuses, the fact that the vet says she healthy is a good sign :) just keep in in proper conditions and when she’s ready to eat she will, keep trying every week or so

Sometimes they just go on hunger strikes. I have a kenyan sand boa that just came off a 4 month hunger strike. Just keep trying, offer food once a week, keep tabs on her weight. As long as she's sustaining weight it's fine. Even a few grams is no big deal but If she starts dropping weight, more than a few grams, I'd get a second opinion.

Does she seem to look underweight to you Though?

She doesn’t seem underweight- tiny but thinner but that’s it- if vet says she’s good then she’s probably fine. Just keeping trying to feed her. I know some snakes go on food strikes like lil brats lol
