Unhappy My corns does nto want to eat freely

Hi all, i have a problem with my okeetee female,..she is a very slow eater..i have had her now for 3 months and by trial and error i have managed to get her to feed , but she will only take frozen pinkeys , she looks as if she is scared of live prey .
The first 2 months she did not eat anything , and then with a frozen very small pinkey that i thawed out se took it , before she ate her first meal she was very frail and did not want to move either , but now i can feel she has gotten stronger but still refuse to eat when i feed the other snakes , this okeetee female only takes prey smaller than her head ( looks like she does not want to get strech marks :-) , she is a lady afterall )

has anyone got any advice on how to get her to eat more and more freely .....i bought 2 at the same time and the amel corn is much bigger because it does not have feeding problems...
she is 30 cm long compared to the other one which is exactly the same age but is already 53 cm long...

any help would be greatly appreciated.
