I'll keep that in mind. I talked to the seller who raised up the snake. I don't know if he is right or not, but I'll go ahead and mention it and let you all decide. He said that he has been feeding her once a week (on Fridays) and she has a peculiar way of letting him know she's hungry. Once in the cage, she'll come out of hiding and look at anyone in the room. Any other time she ignores you. She has been fed in a separate container since she initially started eating. He recommended a live hopper, since she hasn't been switched over to f/t yet.

I've handled her for a little bit (she never made any attempt to bite). She's had a few hours in the cage now and has explored every inch of it...even picked out a good hiding spot. However, like clockwork, whenever I walk into the room, she knows I'm there (maybe sees me? Or hears the footsteps?) and will pop her head up and look through the glass. Just out of curiosity, I moved one of my hands a little, and she kind of moved with it.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Could she really be hungry but the stress might make her regurgitate? Also do I need to keep her extra warm to help her recover from the cold or just leave the temperature as it is? It's about 70* outside lately.
