    Your only disadvantage is not knowing what the previous owner (breeder) did with her. These normally progress pretty boldly to taking f/t food from tongs.

    My most "recent" pair was shipped to me & fed openly by the 3rd feeding. The first time I offered food, they were in their hides & I made sure the scent wafted
    into their hides, then left them just outside...they were taken quickly. The next time, they had to come all the way out for food, & by the 3rd time, they took it
    from tongs. But mine were "just out of the egg" hatchlings, while yours is a "year" old. Hopefully yours wasn't fed only live, would have been nice to know.
