About 48 hours. She should sleep for about two days then you're good. :carrot:

If she is moving around 24 hrs later does that mean she didn't eat enough though? My snake ate two small mice last night and was up and roaming around within the next 24 hrs..

Not necessarily - unusually activity can also mean that they are not feeling secure in their enclosures. Some reasons can be that the temperatures are off (if you use pet-store stick on dials, they are very inaccurate, and most people mount them too high, not getting a true measurement of ground level temps).
It could be the enclosure is too large and their activity is trying to find a more secure area, since they are feeling overwhelmed.
It could also be that hides are not tight and snug (the snake only "barely" able to squeeze into the hide is perfect!).
