My kingsnake has not eaten by herself for over a month and a half. I force fed it some pinkey heads a couple of times, but it still dosen't want to eat.

She has these pinkish patches on her body from her shedding a little while back. She kept rubbing her body agains a rock (I placed in there when she was having difficulties shedding).

Today i tried to feed her; I tried leaving her in a plastic container with the pinkey and i covered the contrainer with a towel. After i made a small cut in the top of the head(sorry for those who are reading this and are squeemish)so that the pinkey's smell would be stronger. after that, i wrapped the pinkey with a different snake's skin, but she still didn't eat it.

Can somebody please help me!
