I use an oxo brand scale. You just need one that weighs in grams... like a scale to weigh food. Use the demo on my website (on the feeding page).
The book is this one by Kathy Love:

The ideal is the more time you give them, the better. 48hrs is the minimum, and is the rule of thumb that most people adhere to. Personally, I use the 48hrs rule for mine.

Re: First time snake owner, looking for help!
48 hr rule for me. Or if the prey is a tad larger than normal I watch the bump to go down first.

I'm sure she'll be happy with the new home, I just moved Genghis over to a bigger tub and he took about an hour moving about then decided he liked it and went into his hide, lol!
