Re: Stress from moving?
So the owner said she would be looking for a rat in about 2 weeks, but she is extremely active tonight and is extending her body quite high up to the top of her tank, and licking the air. I was reading this indicates that she is "hunting" or looking for scents of food.. should I buy a rat tomorrow and offer it to her? I don't want to over-feed.

Re: Stress from moving?
Sorry if you already said so and I missed it, but do you know when the last time she ate was? I would go ahead and feed her if she seems hungry, unless she ate less than a week ago.
Also, do you know what size rats they were feeding? If they were too small, she might be getting hungrier more quickly. Just a thought.

Unless they had fed her the day you got her, I'd say you should feed her a little sooner. You can go longer, but I think 7-10 days is a good feeding schedule. Feed smaller items if it's too much food.

Congrats! The first feeding of a new Snake is always nerve racking.
