Unless someone strongly advises me not to, I've pretty much decided that tomorrow afternoon I will try to take her out of the enclosure and put her in another container while I do a thorough cleaning of the whole thing. I'm also gonna throw out the old mat (it smells so bad) and switch to a substrate setup. Before I do all that, I'll go do some shopping at the pet shop because the enclosure is really boring right now, it only has a mat, an upside down plastic container with a hole cut in it as a doorway and a glass water bowl. I also need to get a heating lamp because the owner didn't give me one since he had his whole room heated. Can't wait to pick out all that good stuff that I'm going to use to pimp out the vivarium, I'll post pictures when everything is done.

I do have some questions though, first, how will the snake respond if tomorrow I try to pick her up and she doesn't want to be handled? (considering I haven't had her in my place for more than 24 hours)
Secondly, what kind of substrate should I use? If I have no response on this one I'll probably do a bit of research and also ask the people at the pet shop.

In normal circumstances I would do the recommended thing and wait a few days to try and pick her up but right now the enclosure smells (probably because of the mat) and also the glass is really dirty. Even the screen on top is disgusting for some reason.

Thanks!
