Just remember that she wasn't always a "lone snake", even if she was while temporarily living @ Petco, and I commend you for planning to have her stool checked.

As far as her refusing pinkies while there, she was probably more stressed then...and they may have been handling her beforehand too. Even well-meaning people
don't always think about how shy snakes are (ie. how instinctively threatening it is for a snake to be handled) & that alone can make them refuse to eat. But snakes
do learn they are safe with us, & there's no rush...eating & settling in is "job #1" for a snake. Stress affects all creatures negatively, & you want her immune system
working optimally, so honestly it's best not to handle any new snake until they've fed 2 or 3 times easily for you (& this one isn't starting off in the best condition).
But give her time, and she will be.
