Kent:

The thing she needs most is exercise. I would definitely change the food item. I would try to get her into a pool of water somehow and swim. If not, then at least maybe get her somewhere like a big backyard where she can get exercise. She needs this at least once weekly if possible. You can give her the mineral oil supplementation which you already are. It would be better to do things naturally via exercise and changing the food item. I would not use human laxatives. Reptiles are so sensitive to things and they cannot metabolize it well. I would also recommend frozen food since frozen prey items will not harbor any parasites. Pigs are fine. I also recommend feeding smaller prey but more of them. This will be easier for her to digest. You will have to trigger the strike response by dangleing the prey food in front of her using a long pole,etc.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if i can help you further. Good luck.

Thanks,
