curious why would kyle be just fine in the same conditions but jenifer having all of these issues

You're a ball of horrible husbandry issues. Worst part it isn't even just one snake it's two.
1. Do not keep together. The normal is stressed out and that's why she's active. Nothing to do with having a friend who's "inseperable". You only offer one cool side and one hot side. They compete for it so that's why you think it's "snuggling".
2. Use a heatmat and not that light. It's drying out the enclosure with FAR too high of temps that you're not really sure of. Use a thermostat in conjunction with it.
3. You didn't read much of anything if you didn't see they need about an average of 55-60% humidity. Do better research.
4. The normal isn't too bad of weight loss but the spider is. Who cares how long it takes a snake to swallow a piece of food? I've got ball pythons that take hours. They are just slow. Feed them hopper sized mice or rat fuzzies.
