Carpet python advice

[Monkey boy]

HI fellow keepers,

Im after a bit of advice really I have recently taken on a carpet python and she is very snappy around nervous and jumpy, just wondering anyone can give me any pointers how to calm her down really. She was in a shocking setup with plain a4 paper for substrate and heat mat wasn't even wired up to the plug proper. I have now put her in a temporary setup just till she seems a bit better as advertised. ...... I'm not new to the snake keeping but am new to this species of snake ..... any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated :-)
