    Until recently I thought Rosies were okay, but there has been some debate that they may in fact contain quite large amounts of thiaminase.... maybe best to switch to a known 'safe' fish such as salmon or trout. Have you tried 'scenting' pinkies with fish?
    I had an eastern that looked like this. First, he needed a higher humidity... misting him twice a day helped, and so did wet bagging him. But secondly, he had a parasite, and treatment for this put the finishing touches on his recovery. I wonder if your goldfish might have carried a parasite...

    Wrinkling of the skin in an otherwise healthy snake who isn't shedding, is a possible sign of either dehydration or inadequate humidity.
