Usually snakes need a few days of settling in with no handling before even offering their first meal, and they'll have their best chances of eating f/t... Since you say she was eating f/t with her last owner. It's not surprising she rejected the f/t only 24 hours after arriving to you haha. If you wait a full week with no handling and offer f/t again, she might take it. But may not, since you already gave her live. I also am told that hatchlings can be shy, so providing more tight secure hides may help too!
Bloods/short tails also should have a noticeable ridge in their back, more than balls and boas. Though they shouldn't be a flat tent, of course. If you can't feel an obvious ridge on the back and they are rounded, they are actually overweight.
Congrats on your girl!

Thanks. Yeah I know I kinda broke the week rule. Snake arrived to me thin and I just wanted to get a meal in her. Last feeding with breeder was 6/10. I emailed him yesterday on this actually. Was very surprised to hear this. She looked kinda flat to me honestly.

From what I've heard Sumatrans (Curtus) are the most docile, then Borneos, then Bloods - although none of them are that aggressive unless you keep them too hot.
Bloods color up as they grow, but good genes makes a difference too. The best way to get a redder animal is to check pics of the parents or ensure that it comes from a known high-red bloodline.
I have a carpet now (Diamond/Jungle) and am planning to pick up an orange-head Sumatran soon.
