    I think it has all pretty much been said. Let her settle in for a week, don't mess with her at all. Then after she eats for you, always make sure you give them 2 days to digest before handling. If she is going into shed, humidity needs to be bumped up to between 60-70. If you are feeding live, make sure you are always standing by to watch the feeding. Rats/mice can do lots of damage to snakes in a hurry. If your rodent is well fed and watered first they usually aren't as crazy. But you still need to watch and have a pair of tongs at the ready, some of those little buggers will try to bite until their last breath if your snake doesn't get a good hold. Yes you can feed in your tub, won't hurt anything. So, read over the caresheet, and welcome!
