IMO, that's a better death than the one you're providing currently.

But please keep your snakes welfare in mind. Suffering can be hard to detect in reptiles, but do understand that your snake is NOT in a very good place right now in regards to its health. Not having known the conditions it was kept in before you got it, it could have been a pre-existing condition that was exacerbated by sub standard care.
I think no one can fault you for the effort you put into making things right up until this point. While a vet visit would be ideal, i understand that not everyone has the money to spend.
I think you should seriously consider jennifer's quality of life, and in the mean time do everything you can to make sure Kyle has every chance to thrive.
Best of luck.

All of you talking about Euthinizing her are insane. Would you euthinize any other animal that had malnuritment problems and dyhydration issues? Probably not. luck has a rare occurence in my life and i was fortunate to get a reptile vet speak to me for a few min while i was at pet store with a vet clinic inside and guess what when i told him what was going on he asked about the temp of the cage her eating habbits the humidity and her behavior. i told him everything that was going on and he said try offering her food again and if she doesnt eat i will have to go in so i can get her onto a soft food diet that can be force fed. I was told to leave her alone so she can recover. BUT, If she gets worse or does not improve with in the next week to 10 days to bring her in and he would look at her. Oh and everyone as for the wound on her head it looks alot better it is smaller which means it is healing. As i keep trying to say sometimes all you can do is be patient. Those who are commenting about me not doing research as i posted on my other feed about her and kyle. I can go on google right now and find four different ideas how you are suppose to keep the snakes houseing. as for kyle he is doing great he likes his under belly heat. I have been keeping an eye out on him to make sure it wasnt a virus she had that she could have given him. I will be attempting to feed her again tonight. and i hope that she continues to get better fo i honestly want her to be okay.
