new grey rat snake

[aconto]

Hey I need some ideas on what to do with this new snake I got. It’s supposed to be three years old. Owner says she gets a lil snippy at first. Lol an under statement. I picked up the snake at pet store as she was just put up for adoption. I wasn’t ready. I didn’t have the tank ready I had enough repti bark to put about one inch in it. Put the snake in and went to pet store to get more supplies. Came back home and now I cant get her out of her tank. She acts like she will strike all coiled up and not being familiar with her and not wanting to get bit. Well anyone got some good suggestion on how I should work with her. Should I just let her be for a couple weeks? She may be hungry. She’s been eyeing my anoles and my gecko on other side of room.

Another problem the pervious owner was feeding her like med rats in her tank. And I think that may also be a contributing factor why she wont let me pull her out. I dont want to feed her in her tank. Thins snake makes e a lil nervious. My BP loves to be held and lets me touch his head and everything else this one is another story
