I've also heard of stories and people saying even if the snake comes in contact with a hot surface and their appears to be know burns continue to check back on the snakes belly cause it takes a while to develop. This could be completely wrong but i would check on her no harm no foul!

When it comes to handling Night time handling would be preferred as they are nocturnal i am sure people can agree on me with that. I handle my snake only once a day for 30-45 minutes.

If its a new snake i would give him/her a week to feel comfortable in the new enclosure before handling... But regardless all snakes are different and if you see the snake wandering and tongue flicking people "Say" that its a good sign they are beginning to adjust to the new surroundings.
