    Man I'm stoked! Thanks, everyone!!

    I just wanted to thank everyone here for getting me in the right direction!

    I got my python on April the 9th.
    On the first day she ate a mouse(slowly).
    I waited 5 days and she refused and waited another 5.
    After 10 days had gone buy she ate another mouse that was left in her tub after 1 hour. This morning (5 days later) she had a perfect shed and pooped! I just fed her a mouse and she snapped at it and curled up around it.

    I want to switch her over from frozen mice to frozen rats.

    Here is my current set up, that makes her happy.
    Small sterilite tube with identical hides made from black bowels.
    Under tank heater controlled by herpstat set to 94˚F. Humidity is around 60%, and was bumped up to 80% right when her eyes got blue for shed. I have a water dish that is big enough for her to get all the way in. I use Newspaper for subsitrate, on the floor and folded up over the walls, with some ball crumpled up in there.

    I have read a lot of posts here, and have tried to help others out as well, I am not a expert with snakes yet, but hope to be one day. I will be here to help others as my debit to you guys helping me on this great forum. Once again, Thanks!!!!!!

    Congrats .I would wait until she gets a little bigger and more meals on time before you attempt to switch to rats.The reason is sometimes they refuse to switch over and can cease eating.
