I can't wait; however, it could be a week or two before the snake gets shipped, I'm still waiting on my redline herpstat and various other supplies to ship, seems like some companies are sending out order at a glacial pace.

Many are short-handed: some employees are home sick, or taking care of kids not in school, & some companies have laid off many workers to save money & because orders have slowed, while still trying to stay afloat with fewer handling their business. I've noticed that too...things are taking longer. My order for pet food from Chewy took about 10 days instead of 2 days. (I forgive them!) So plan for similar effects for the future, no matter what you're ordering. ;) It's the new normal.

According to the seller, she's a "very good" eater, and he just fed her today.

If your BP has issues find a petstore and ask them for dirty mice bedding.
Excellent idea, I have a petshop that sells live mice, I'm sure they will spare some bedding.
Re: How difficult is it to switch a BP's food type?
Congratulations on your new critter! Looking forward to lots of pictures. Like Zinc said a BP "mouser" isn't the end of the world. 2 jumbo mice is a good sized meal. Some BPs also like ASFs which they can feed on for life so you have a few food options. Hopefully he'll have a seamless transition to rats and all of this will be moot.
