I totally understand your frustration and heartache over the whole situation. I rescued a Colombian Boa Constrictor a couple of weeks ago and I too found it to be amazing that he survived the conditions that he was in. Since she has survived thus far I'd be inclined to say that "she" is a resilient snake and will just need some time to get back on track.

I agree with everyone else that has suggested offering her live food. I have a BP that gets stubborn from time to time and when she gets that way I switch back to live for a bit. The feeding schedule that the previous owner had her on is ridiculous. I stick to a 7-10 day feeding schedule with my balls depending on their appetite which I have spent a while figuring out...

I wish you the best of luck with her. Keep us all posted and when you get a chance get us some pics

been trying not to cry bout this but frankly its starting to get to me. this snake is lucky to be alive. Im just glad Ive got her now and that shes going to be properly taken care of from now on.

honestly id have tried live feeding the mouse earlier if I had seen that she was more active. Since I had gotten her until after I offered the mouse she had been barely moving from what I saw, I was worried a live mouse would hurt her, but after I played arround with her doing the whole "jiggle the mouse by the tail"-Im-trying-to-trick-you-into-thinking-its-alive-dance, she started moving around quite a bit. She probably smelled food, but didnt recognize what I offered as such, but it is good to know shes moving okay
