Foster Mother Question

[HEVYCHEVY427]

Hi First I am a Colubrid owner, who just took on the responsibility of nursing a Columbian Boa back to health. I was given this snake by a friend who sold it and got it back 4 weeks later with a story of the snake being mean.. I guess she did not eat for this guy. When my friend got her back she delivered 15 slugs and 7 babies. This was about 2weeks ago. She still has not eaten and he had no warm place to keep her. So I brought her home and put her in with my collection. We modified a cage to keep in the heat and humidity.. The warm side is maintaining ambiant air temp of 88-90'. I mist her once a day with warm water. At night I have a vaporizor i put on in the room for everyone it really makes there sheds easier..
I have only had her since this past Thursday. She seems to be warming up very nicely, she actually moved out of the heat.
My big problem question is eating. My friend gave me 15 frozen rats..jumbo size. She looks so sad shape and not very strong. I bought her a smaller rat and killed it and gave it to her this afternoon, but she showed no interest. She was hissing and turned away. Should I wait a few more days until she makes this cage her own and try to feed her overnight. And will she be alright until then. Her sKin is very loose and she is skinny.
Thanks for any help.:w

after they are done giving birth they usually eat like savages, i dont know what would be with her. what are you using for heat for her? are you using just lights or a under tank heater?
The ambient of the tank should be about 80 and there should be a hot spot of about 90 for her.

The way i have mine set up is i have a hot spot on the ground of about 90-92 and an all around ambient of around 80 but it drops some at night.
