    If she has good weight on her, what she needs now is to settle down really well.

    I would leave her alone (aside from maintenance) until she comes out on her own at night, looking for food.
    She needs a good long de-stressing now

    She is gorgeous, love the deep black on her head and her eyes have the slightest green shimmer to them. Really pretty snake!

    Thank you. She is a pretty girl. Or so I assume hahaha. How late do they normally venture out?

    It all depends.

    On how settled in they are, their own preferences, whether close to a shed, or during breeding season, etc.

    Most of them will come out in the evening or late at night. Since she is still stressed, she might be more timid for now. Once she is well settled in and used to a routine, she might come out some during the day, or at least have her head peeking out of the hide in the "got food" pose

    If you have a Ball that endlessly cruises, day and night, it is usually a sign that something is bothering it. If it cruises at night, its usually looking for food or a mate, or just having a walk around

    I wouldn't even attempt to feed until she has had a good few days of no interference. Then I would try to feed around your bedtime and leave the rodent with her overnight if she doesn't take it. (not a live one...FT or dead, only) She might eat when undisturbed. Once you offer a rodent that way make sure you can leave her completely undisturbed for the rest of the night, cover the enclosure if needed. If she is in her hide while you try, insert the head of the rodent into the hide. If she doesn't take it, lay it down like that, right in the opening of the hide and leave it

    That's awesome!!! I'm stoked for you both!!! Your girl is lucky to have a loving snake momma, you're doing a great job with her. Keep up the good work and you'll have many years to enjoy her company...
    I agree with what Zina said. I would just let her be for at least a few days, I think I would wait 5-7 days before attempting to feed her. Just let her de-stress as if you just brought her home. Try feeding then, and if she doesn't eat you're probably best to wait a week and try again. If by then she still hasn't eaten start some feeding "tricks". If that's the case, you know where to come for advice! Isn't this forum great??
    Congrats on the eye caps and good luck!!
