My snake was lost for months, found weak, won't eat. What to do?

Question

My snake got out about 3 or for months ago. We looked for her everywhere and tried to lure her back but had no look. Yesterday we found he while packing. She looks really weak, but she's alive. We put her in her cage to warm her up, she started moving around and acting like she was getting stronger. So we offered her a frozen mouse(that's what she ate before) but she won't eat. Should I be worried? What should I do to get her to eat?

Please have Penelope seen by a vet right away. It is important to have her checked as she may be dehydrated and/or injured if she has been missing for that long. She needs to be seen by a vet so they can help make a plan for her recovery and provide care immediately.
