New snake!

If she seems comfortable, cruising the cage, I'd offer her a pinky now. No handling of course...see how it goes. (She wasn't shipped, so that's a big help.)
I really do think she's hungry & has been underfed.

Okay, she definitely seems like she's getting more comfortable so I'll offer a pinkie later tonight so the lights can be dim, tonight's also my bp's feeding night so it kinda works out well.
How should I offer it? Should I wait until she's in a hide or does it not matter?

Use tongs...shouldn't matter where she is...slight wiggle of the prey, going "past" (away from) her (not AT her); to get more response to f/t pinkie, squeeze the nose
with tongs to damage slightly, that will release more scent. I have a gut feeling that you won't need to do this, but just in case.

But if, when you're ready to feed her, she is hiding, or if she won't take the pinkie from tongs, just leave it nearby for her to find
when you're not there...just in case she is that shy. (leave pinkie on a flat piece of cardboard or jar lid or similar thing so she won't
ingest substrate with it)

Okay, thank you! it's gonna be nice not having to heat it up hah. I'll try feeding her tonight & keep you updated
