Dont over do her too quick, give her time to settle in.
I put a bit more detail in the Intro forum, she is a rescue, so her age is a guess, but I don't know how much information that was based on. The disc is deceptive for size, it's one of the larger ones, so is 3 inches in diameter. I keep reminding myself that these are supposed to be beginner snakes and I need to chill out a bit, but I feel so responsible for all my animals! More than my children, least they can tell me what's going on! And are more tolerant of big variations in temperature and humidity, usually...

So when you say don't over do her too quick, do you mean not to feed her for a week, as the vet recommended? Haven't handled her yet, giving her time to settle in. Wasn't planning to try until Friday at the earliest, unless that is too soon?
