Welcome to bp.net! And congrats on rescuing that poor snake. It sounds like she is in much better hands now.
The 2 sheds in a row is probably the result of her previous poor conditions. As long as she doesn't continue to have them so often, I would not worry about that at all.
The fact that she is taking any food at all is a good sign, however, as Derek (Dr. Del) pointed out, chicken meat alone is not going to be a complete diet for her.
Despite the fact that she seems to trust you, a lot of handling is still probably stressful to her, and might be contributing to her finicky eating. I would recommend cutting back on the handling until everything is sorted out.
Be patient with her... 2 weeks is not long at all. Sometimes wild-caught snakes take a year before they are feeling secure enough to start eating. If your BP was captive-bred, she probably won't take nearly so long to adjust, but it will take time.
