New to forum, and new BP owner...

[clmclark]

Hello everyone. I am a new Ball Python owner. My family has had snakes in the past so I'm not totally new to this...but still a little green.
I have a 7month old female BP. Named her Fluffy. I've had her 6 days. Today is when she would've been fed by them, she's used to live. Eventually I'll switch to f/t but I want to make sure I can get her eating on a regular basis first.
My gut is telling me that she wont eat today. I've been trying to leave her be completely. She hides 99% of the time. I really didn't anticipate housing a live mouse in the event she doesn't eat. I had a co worker that used to have snakes suggest that I give it an extra week before I even try to feed her. Ensuring that she's hungry and that she'd be more likely to eat. I just don't want to stress her out any further. I've been planning to completely leave her be for another week before trying to handle her. I tried it once and she didn't seem comfortable with it. Any suggestions?
