Make sure the temperatures are good and that the snake has a good hiding spot, and leave it alone for about a week to acclimate to it's new home. Then try feeding by leaving a prekilled rat in the cage in the evening.

First, who is the breeder? Did they give you any feeding info for the snake? What was it most recently eating?

i really would not worry. i bought a baby female blood at Daytona and she did not eat for about three weeks. I always checked her temps, gave her hides, etc. then one day she just started to eat. now she eats two rat crawlers a week and would eat more if i let her. she has a great tempermant also. now the only thing i worry about is finding her a man when the time is right lol.
