Everything went well! Thanks guys. Fingers crossed for no regurgitating, but honestly I don't think she had a problem.

I'm glad it went ok. I would leave her completely alone for about 36 hours and then check for a regurge each day and don't handle her for about 3 days or so until the bulge goes down. Usually, if they are going to regurge, it will be within the first 36-48 hours...

Small update: I fed her a small rat two Saturdays ago and last Saturday. Opened up the lid today, and I heard the first hiss from her that I've heard since the first week I got her. She didn't open her mouth but I definitely heard the hiss when I started touching her with my snake hook. I'm going to assume that means she is in shed because she's also been sitting on the hot side of the cage all week, and she never does that. So, I guess those rats must be working. :P She is so weird with hides—I had two plastic hide boxes in her tub that were getting too small for her, so I put in a rock cave hide that I had laying around. She's just sitting next to it, not even going in it!

I leave frozen prey to thaw at room temp for eight hours or more, if its really big. Then I do a warm water soak for ten min before feeding.
