Is the non-feeder a male? That happens sometimes and needs no worry. That pic of it - it looks very well fed. I wouldn't force anything at this point.

For a sizeable snake, I think carpets have the best keeping qualities. I just got into some and am surprised at how well they do. They are not as temperamental or sensitive as boas can be, and their size is not overwhelming for many of the types available. I spent hours constructing/mounting branch perches in the cage, and of course the carpets stay on the ground most of the time. But when they do perch, it is awesome to look at. Mine seem to enjoy taking a thawed food item while perched. They hang up there with their heads pointed down waiting...
