My Florida king (Tootzie) stopped feeding and I don't know why.

She (or he?)(I can post a pic so maybe someone could tell me) is in a 60 gallon aquarium with a heat lamp on one end. She is about 3 -3" 1/2" ft and feeding on one fuzzy per week. It is snowing outside where I live but it still prefers the cold side of the aquarium even though it sneezes and has a runny nose. I think she stopped using the hot side when she burned herself on the lamp. Also some of her old shed still stuck on her which i tried to remove after the mites she got from the hardware store mulch I have been using. But she still has dry and stuck shed on her head and eyes even though I switched to basic A plus Florida beach sand. It gets in her mouth and now she makes a squeeky sound.

My roomate that lives with me under the bridge tells me it is a cornsnake because she is on the thin side. But the pet shop girl told me she is a desert phase brooksi and to feed her only once a week. Am i doing the right thing?

Oh and thanks in advance to you guys and your help here as I am a frequent lurker. Now i only give her bottled water (thanks DISCERN!)and started her on fuzzies last month.
