I'll chime in with my two cents...
Cover the sides of your tank with something dark. I covered the sides of the tank I have with black poster board. You can cover yours with styrofoam if you need the insulation. I have the tank in a room with two computers, so I didn't need it, the room gets plenty hot, lol.
Try to feed her a live mouse. Don't dangle it in front of her, if anything just put it in her eye sight to let her know it's there and just drop it in the tank. If you're not pre-scenting, I suggest you do so. You haven't mentioned if you do or don't.
To me, she does look kinda skinny. If you do all the suggested things, you might be able to get away with trying to feed her in 5 days. Just make sure to not handle her, don't make any bumps near the tank, no loud noises, pretty much act like there's a sleeping bear instead of a stressed BP
That's my take on it. I'm pretty confident all these things have been mentioned, but...
The more you know!
