When the welfare of an animal is possibly not been considered then it would be very difficult not to comment but I agree that insults don't do anyone any good.

Save yourself some money in the long run, the vet surely wont take the snake for free and they don't get it feeding they force/assist feed them, a stressful process, getting them feeding is something you can do at home but its that old story again, he needs putting separate, in a small RUB or faun, no handling, a fuss and drop fed on kitchen roll overnight. I put money on it solving the problem, name your price!

Upgrading feeds just depends on the snake. Sally seems to be still hungry so offer another pinkie, you may find she takes it and is happy to eat 2 pinkies for a few weeks then start offering 3 at a time ect. When I offer 3 pinkies and it is taken, I will feed every 7 days instead of 4 to allow more time to digest otherwise you are 'power feeding'. When she has taken 3 for a while, I would then move to larger mouse. Hope all goes well.

You don't need to feed 3 pinkies, just move up to fuzzies. I don't double feed either I just move up a size when needed but double feeding can be useful for using up leftover pinkies.
