Sounds like you actually have an idea of what you're doing, so not too big a deal. Ten grams off of a 600 gram animal isn't that much, either. Just be patient, don't mess with her at ALL(wouldn't the bubbling signify an URI issue? what'd you mean by GI?), and offer food once a week until she eats. I'm a fan of waiting until there's been several regular feedings before I handle a new animal, but if you wait for her to eat twice in a row for you, that's usually enough.
And like JP said, not all books were created equal. I've seen books claim that ball pythons hibernate in winter, can't survive with temps lower than 95-85, and that they should only eat one mouse once a month.
Good luck!
