Should I try to feed?
Hi, I picked up an adult female ball python yesterday from one of my co-workers that is moving and can't take her. My co-worker said that she fed her last Sunday and that I could try feeding her today. I was wondering if someone had advice on if I should wait a bit more for her to get more accustomed to her new environment, or go a head and offer her food?

welcome to the forum!
your snake is likely a bit stressed from moving into a new environment; i'd give them at least 7 days to relax and get used to their new home.

If she stayed in the same environment, give her a week. If you moved to a new setup, give her 2. In any case don't be worried if it doesn't feed right away.

Thanks I've done a lot of research in anticipation, and I figured the answer would be to wait being that she probably won't eat...but I wanted to ask if I should be giving her the option. Just wanting to do what's best for her
