thank you I forgot to put her housing conditions in my post

I have her in a 20 gallon, the substrate is coconut she has a hide also plenty of fake plants to help with moisture plus they lower stress levels by adding a bit of cover (I know these can be very stressy snakes since I have 2 others) there is also a bowl to soak in. The cover is your basic tank cover and over that is a sheet of plexiglass that covers it completely aside from where the overhead light is there is also an under the tank heat mat. Everything is perfect as far as the temps and humidity requirements.

Its been nearly a week now since I got her going on the force feeding and with feeding her every other day(3 feedings in 6 days) blended rat pinks mixed with water and calcium powder she is getting much stronger. I am about to lower the feeding to every 3 days this week and after that every 5 starting on solid pinkies.. if anyone knows of a better feeding schedule I will be happy to hear it but for now thats what I am going to go on.
