    A BP that is actively exploring will probably refuse to eat, so it's probably better to wait until she settles down some...might be a matter of days, or a week or more.

    BPs are ambush-predators, & most likely to take food in evening, when looking out of their hide for a clueless rodent to wriggle on past them. So when you start seeing
    that behavior, that's probably the best time to offer. Wish I could tell you how long that will be but every snake is an individual.

    I know how much better we feel when our snakes are eating regularly, especially when they're young & growing...but they're also quite resilient, so just be patient &
    watch for the telltale signs of hunger. (like intensely watching motion, even if it's only your fingers thru the glass)
    Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.
