There is so set time when they go to bathroom, it could be a couple days after a meal or it could be a month lol they go when they want to go.

She will cruise until she is settled in, just leave her alone till feeding time. Just change water and spot clean until she is settled in. You should wait till she eats a few times before you handle. You should wait 48hrs after eating to handle. I usually handle mine once or twice between feedings since I feed every 5 days, I don't handle on feeding day. Don't be discouraged if she doesn't eat her first meal, wait at least 5 days and try again. If she doesn't eat within a few weeks I would start looking for something that might be wrong with the setup. Feed her whatever the previous owner was feeding meaning if she was being fed f/t feed f/ , if she was eating live feed live but if she was eating live never leave unattended. Also if she was eating rats feed rats, mice feed mice. If she was eating f/t have you read up on ways to prepare them? Also just make sure you feed a rodent the about the same size as the widest part of your snake, a little bigger is fine. Another thing you could do if you have a gram scale is take the scale to get rodents and weigh them to find ones that are 10%-15% of body weight.

She was fed mainly live but the owner did also feed f/t and said she will take that. I cant do live - I've had pet rats and I just can't. He said colour of rat didn't matter to her. I've heard to defrost in lukewarm water (in a baggie) and then let the thawed rat sit in a baggie in hot water to get it to "live Temps." I will let her settle in this week and weekend and try her on Monday. I really hope she eats because I'm dyyyyying to hold her!!! (He underfed her with once a month feedings so I hope she eats.) She eats medium rats. I guess one each time?
