I got mine as a rescue. She was abandoned by her previous owner, and I took her in.
She wouldn't eat at first, but her husbandry had been way off. She had no heat source, nothing to burrow in. Just a water bowl.
I got her in a nice enclosure, belly heat at 85 on one side, and heat lamps on the other side, one lamp for day, and one lamp for night. The night light is a black light of a lower wattage than the day light, to give her a night time temp drop. I use aspen bedding for her to burrow in, and I gave her hides on both sides.
She LOVES this setup, after one week, she started eating again, and hasn't slowed down since.
She's a very agressive feeder, but completely docile when she's being handled. An absolutely great pet snake
