I lived in an area last year where it was 105 every day and it was not standard practice to have air conditioning in houses. I removed all heat from my animals, moved them into a walk in closet, and bought a swamp cooler to keep them from overheating and dehydrating.

That is hot! I could not do 105f everyday, you sir are a trooper. Now back on topic, if i let things get too cold i risk a RI but i know the deal there so need to go into detail.

For the love of snakes, mate, please sort things with this snake and get her healthy again before taking a shot at more snakes. Prove to yourself that you can be an awesome snakekeeper by helping this little girl thrive! Once she is alright, and your temps are stable (with 85f being the highest possible temp), then consider more snakes.
Snakes are not toys! They are living beings with specific needs. From everything you've posted on these 5 pages, your snake has been through a traumatic experience. Do you really want the others to do the same?
Try asking yourself why your snake stopped eating. You can find the answers repeatedly throughout this forum. Instead of taking offense to any of these posts, accept them, admit that you maybe made a mistake, and learn from them. Get your little anery eating and thriving, and then get more.
Can I ask, why do you even want more snakes? Isn't one pet enough, especially when she's not doing so well and needs your help and attention? Remember that each one is a major responsibility. I have 7, and I have to dedicate a lot of time to keep them clean, healthy, fed, and at correct temps.
On the other hand, you said that your mom doesn't approve. I'm thinking you should consider her. How old are you, anyway?

But her not eating is a seperate topic from you trying to cook her.
If she was totally chilled the worst case (regurge) would not happen with her, big whoop. I was telling you that too cool is safer than too hot, and explaining WHY.

It relates to HER because your temps being too high can cause her to overheat and die. She's already clearly showed signs of the temps being too high, and we're telling you to lower them AND explaining that being a little cool is far better than being too hot.
Reading comprehension minus defensiveness is definitely in order.
For example, it is 80 degrees in my house right now, so I've turned the heat off on my snakes. They are still able to digest their meals quite well, are not showing any signs of stress or overheating.
And when I have a hatchling with low desire to eat, I put them and a hot half-pink into a plastic sandwich tub and put it under a blanket so that the snake is alone, quiet, and in the dark. And I leave 'em there for about 4 hours. If they don't eat that time, I do it again 3 days later. It's worked eventually on most of 'em.

I think there is a good chance we are feeding a troll here.
It refused to admit that it's wrong, and it's rude.
I fear for any living thing that relies on this....person for proper care.

A sweet substance usually found in granule form, a common ingredient in many recipes and found in most kitchens.
Seriously though, sugar is a dessicant, and soaking the swelling in sugar water will help to draw the fluid out of the area and bring the swelling down. It's a fairly common practice when a snake experiences a prolapse.
The suggestion to use cool water is just for her comfort, as it seem to me that a dehydrated, recently overheated animal would probably be happier with cool water.
