Also, right after you thaw the pinky & right before you offer it, try scraping or pinching (to damage) the pinky's nose a little bit...that will release a little more scent to the snake. You should not need to add broth or 'brain' the pinky & I agree with above posts, this snake should not be eating goldfish either.
And about feeding in the evening/night time hours- keep the lights low in the room too. If the snake is seeing too much of you moving around, you might also cover the glass on the cage front & sides with some paper (temporarily) so she can better focus on what's inside the cage (ie. the pinky). And when you move the pinky with the tongs, wiggle it very slightly. Too much motion will turn off a shy feeder, which your snake apparently is.
