Well 24 hours or so after bringing her home and handling her a few times for about 10 min each yesterday she did this tonight when I offered food...

Only reason I offered tonight instead of waiting another day was cuz she was out of her hide chillin when I got home from work and as soon as I set the tub with mouse down she went all the way from warm to cold side to sniff around so I said the hell with it and dropped it in!
Not discrediting all the pros here just sayin she seems like I got a good feeder here

I've done that with 2 of my snakes. But the third I got was a shy girl so I let her settle in for 5 or so days. It depends on the snake and I'd like to think I can judge if a snake needs settling time

Lol not everyone has the wait a week rule, I'm a big advocate of feeding the first day.

The sooner they eat the better...good husbandry, quiet environment all play a part in the time a snake gets settled in. There's no set amount of time just a recommendation for the stressed and shipped animals to feel more acquainted within their new environment.
I always feel better once the newly acquired snake starts eating, means you're doing it right...
