Ah okay, sounds like reptibark. Stay away from pine (pine causes respiratory probs, I like aspen the best)!
My recommendation would be next feeding try a live mouse (small adult, don't waste your time with fuzzies) and see if she takes it..if not, take her back to the pet store because if she's having problems this early on that's bad news. Did you buy it from Petco or Petsmart or one of those? If so, try to return the snake you bought (your cage setup is fine for now) and go to a reputable dealer and get a captive bred one, this way you know the hatchling/yearling is healthy.
I find it funny that Petsmart gets most of their pythons from out of the uS and sells them for 99$, while a reputable breeder within the US usually sells a ball for $49.99, and they are much better quality animals.
