I would not handle the snake at all until it is feeding on a regular basis. I'd keep it in a tank the size of a 10-gallon or smaller. I would only attempt to feed the snake once a week and otherwise not disturb it. I would ask the seller what the snake was eating previously (live or frozen/thawed, mice or rats). Like Kevin said, that snake is obviously captive bred and already has some size to it, so it was eating previously.
