35 grams is pretty small for being a snake that "never passes up a meal". For reference, our 3 albino/het hatchlings that are so new they haven't had their first shed or an opportunity for a first meal, weigh 67, 68, and 70 grams. Our smallest hatchlings have been between 40 and 50 grams. To add... each of our hatchlings that become strong feeders, double in size very very quickly.
My assumption, as obviously I don't know, is that the snake you purchased was either a tiny runty record settingly small hatchling and it has been eating fine to get to where it is now, or more likely, the person who sold it has not been entirely honest about her age / feeding habits.
I second what was said above however. Make sure your husbandry is spot on, plenty of humidity for that age, and give her a week to settle in before feeding or even attempting to touch her.
