then feed her. If she doesn't want it, she won't take it. I've had plenty of snakes shipped to me that have eaten the same day they arrived, some even a few hours after, with no ill effects. Sure they can last weeks without eating, but why? If she's hungry, let her do her thing, if not, wait another week and try again. I wouldn't worry too much on the "what if's" as much as what's right in front of you. If she throws up, then you have that to deal with at the time, but I don't believe you should withhold food because she "might" throw it up. Just my 2 cents.
