    She will be fine! Make sure she has hides that fit her. Try not to handle until she is eating good. Definately, feed, check, clean your established guy first. Then a good wash and then new guy. Maybe not back to your established guy on same day.

    People purchase new snakes all the time, and yours aren't going to die!!

    In all seriousness, it sounds like you are doing everything right and have little to worry about.

    She sure is cute!!

    My first ball was a captive hatched import and she was riddled with parasites and infection. She was a tiny little baby too. My vet fixed her up and saved her life. She is now a healthy 9 year old. I wouldn't worry if I were you. There have been much worse cases out there.

    She is absolutely adorable!!! She looks like such a baby in that picture - all bashful and cute. Awww.....

    Anyhoo, Aaron hit the nail on the head with the quarantine. You'll be fine. And your baby is most definitely not going to die!

    Gale, I thought I was the only one who must check my snakes 15 times a day, lifting hides, making sure they weren't dead.... Haha!

    Sigh, no wonder she is so tiny... she's afraid of her food, live or f/t. Time to coax another BP to eat lol.
