We just purchased our first ball python - female, about 1 or 1.5 years old. When we bought her this evening she was in shed and looked like she hasn't been taken care of very well (with some feces and old sheds in her cage). I know that before handling her she needs at least 1 week (or more) of becoming acclimated, but she is supposed to eat on the weekends. So I was planning on trying to feed her next weekend - I want to switch her to f/t but she is currently on live, so I plan on feeding her live for the first few feedings before switching to f/t.
So my question is - is it okay to clean, possibly completely clean out the old bedding and put new bedding in, and clean her tank soon or should I wait until she completely sheds? Also, should I try and feed her before next weekend since she is young and usually eats on the weekend (someone recommended that I go ahead and feed her) or wait the full week like I was planning on?

thanks alot!
