I don't have any pic of under weight royal's but 65f-70f is to low about 80f-84f at the cool side would be better

How are you heating her, have you got a thermastat and what temp is the hot end? If these are not right then that could be the reason she's not eating

Picture would be good, and you might get a better response in the main snake section
