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?

Same reason you have 7 i want more. As for useful post, i only saw about three that actually had any good information. Go back to the first page please and see who started with the insults and childish behavior.
My age? I'm 16 but why does that even matter?
Oh an i put this snake in WAY better condition than it was before, i got her from petco, she was skinny as hell, stink, with about 9 other snakes and had no water. Because of me she got a few extra months of life.

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.

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.

Thanks for the help after 40 post of crap.

rubbing a lizard on the mice works sometimes i read, i dont remember what kind of lizard maybe someone else will... i would think chicken broth has to much salt in it i could be wrong though.. i would give her a couple of days before you try to feed her again though and try to feed her at night sense they are night critters!
