Personally I'd try and go with prey that moves a little more like a house weanling.

I don't understand the first half of your post. I had meant that, since she is 79g, she can handle a 10-15g fuzzy rat. Yes, feed her in her tank.

congrats on the feeding! Give her a 24-48 hours before messing with her after her meal.

poking her head out of a hide is normal hunting behaviour. They are partial active hunters and partial ambush hunters. That is ambush behaviour. Typically some roaming is fine at night time anyway some will in early am or late afternoon. It isn't so much that they are roaming but the pace of it. calm exploration and lots of tongue flicking is just a exploration they are fairly curious. Fast paced roaming with lots of jerky movements and no or very few tongue flicks is a stressful reaction. The tongue is an important sense it will allow the snake to learn a lot about the environment much like a dog. A fearful 'get away' reaction is not about exploring the environment but finding someplace that suits better, like a fearful dog, they don't stop to smell the fence post.
