Have been away from the forum for a while so have only just caught up with this topic. Can only repeat what others have said in saying how blessed that snake is that it was rescued by your friend who then handed to on to you....and you are definitely showing how much you care by simply finding us and not only asking all the right questions but following the advice given  !! As for the man who had Syd, I hope one day he gets what he deserves  !!
Considering the state Syd was in and how it first reacted to you (which isnt surprising), it is wonderful to hear that it is eating, has had a full clean shed (which I bet shocked you  !) and is even settling down well to being handled. It sounds as though you have a gem of a snake there, although with regards to its handling it is most probably down to you being confident and calm so it didnt feel threatened and soon began behaving like a normal corn  .
With regard to its feeding, I would back the advise that has been given....you need to keep Syd on the size of food it is used to for a while until it is feeding well, and then you can decide whether it is necessary to multiple feed or move up a size....but for now just leave things as they are.
KdLang is right in what she says about Syd hiding away, I wouldnt see my adult corns at all if I didnt get them out to handle them  , although the younger one is sometimes out at night when I am up. All corns differ with their behaviour but it is natural for Syd to be hiding away, especially at the moment, and it will be sneaking out and exploring its new home at night while you are fast asleep!
I am so glad you have got the digital thermometers and are getting the stat, the sooner the better....it really is a vital piece of equipment.
Once again, well done for saving Syd....although I think you have done pretty well out of it  cos you have gained an absolutely gorgeous corn !
