New CRB owner with question.

New snake owner here. I picked up a CRB at the Columbia Repticon show last month. She is a little cutie. She's just a little over a foot long. So far she's been fairly easy to tend. I check my humidity levels a couple times a day every day just to make sure. She hasn't tried to nip once.

They told me she was eating pinkies weekly, and so far I haven't had any issues getting her to eat. One pinky barely made a noticeable bulge so I decided to see if she would take two. She's a hungry little booger and didn't refuse or regurg. I'm on week 3 of ownership and she's downed 5 pinkies since I've had her, yet no poo. Should this be of concern?

More info:

About 5 days ago she came out of her hide and curled up in a corner. It was almost feeding time so I didn't bother her. She stayed in that corner 2 days but on feeding night she gobbled up 2 pinkies and went right back to that corner. I was getting a little worried but thought maybe she's about to shed. She was looking a little less colorful but having only had her 3 weeks I wasn't really sure. He eyes were normal.

Last night I took her to the sink for a warm bath to see if she would relax enough to take a dump. She was fighting me trying to get out the entire time so I only kept her in a couple minutes. I message a friend with multiple snakes today and he said to keep giving her baths. So today I kept her in for 5-10 minutes, still no poo, but when taking her out I noticed her skin was pale and moving. I could see the top layer and move it.

So any advice? Do you think she'll poop after she sheds, don't worry for now? Does that explain her new behavior? Today had changed location to her hide on the warm side and was out of the odd corner. Should I keep giving her baths or just leave her be until she sheds?
