Marline wouldn't eat a lot when we first got her. She was going through the shock of relocation and acclimation.
What we ended up doing was helping her out by getting some Repti-Boost and syringe feeding her (it only took two feedings) and went to leaving a small ceramic bowl full of worms out for her. The worms can't crawl up the sides of the ceramic bowl, and the movement of them drew Marline to the bowl. Now, Marline will smash through 30+ worms a day (until she is full, then she basks, poops, and the cycle starts all over again!).
Proper heat and light will help her once she decides to eat.
