| I think you're probably best to just put her in a warm room (no draughts) without a heat source for a day rather than an uncontrolled bulb. |

| I would use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel under underneath if its a plastic tank, if not I would leave it in a warm room. |

most people recommend leaving them alone for a week, then a feed, followed by a further 2 days of not handling to allow the snake to digest it's meal. THEN handling and interacting with your new pet.

| I hope she keeps it down for you, as GP says, its common practice to leave for at least a week to allow adjustment and to not handle for 48hr after feeding. |
