Another thing i have to switch her to F/T rats pretty soon i have 48 rat pups left and 10 adult mice .. problem is she is eating live adult mice only hopefully she eats when i try f/t 5-10 days from now depending on her attitude …if she doesn't eat looks like i need to go pick up some live feeders .. the only place with live feeders cheap around me is like 45 minutes away well it worth the drive

A lot of people say to wait and all that to feed... Personally I usually offer food the day after I get it.... Reason for that is that if they are still in the "bite anything that moves" mode then they will feed easier. So if you are wanting to switch to ft try tomorrow. Also I would personally try the rat pups asap so that you can switch her easier.

Snake kisses
Maybe she wasn't trying to bite, maybe she was just trying to give you a kiss. ;)
God she is gorgeous though, my husband really wants a pied, but they're so expensive.

Totally depends on the snake, but rules of thumb generally exist in this hobby for a reason. You can't harm her by leaving her alone for a few weeks, but on the other hand, you probably won't tweak her mentally if you throw a rat pup in there tomorrow. If, however, she shows no interest in food tomorrow, then I would certainly let her settle for about 10 days or so.
Most baby BP's start to calm down with proper handling. But, then again, the most beautiful BP I ever owned was evil from the day it hatched. I called it the little ball of hate. That snake is in the hands of a local breeder now, and weighs in at about 2100 grams, and she calls him the Incubus...seems he never grew out of it. So, totally depends on the snake ;)

I don't mind her feisty ways, i doubt she really will always be like that, she was perfect handling all day and then once i finally got her into her new tank she was fine until i had to move the hide to the other side so i decided i would pick her up and take a picture for everyone the second i put her down to grab the camera she booked it never seen a bp make it across a 30 foot room in under 3 seconds, i picked her up and after that moment she went berserk striking every which way possible but never at me just the light, the glass everything on her way back in

I will try to do the zombie dance tomo with tongs to see if she will eat if she doesn't take it like that how long do you think i should leave the rat pup in their for her till i should take it out ? Overnight? it is f/t anyway so i don't see any harm
