Even though she's bigger'un a barn, she's still a snake (can't use sniglette...). She needs time to settle in, get comfy, relax and realize she's safe.

I'd not snuggle her - but gods I understand why you want to! - on the couch... And let her settle in and get used to the newness - at the very least the smells if she's in her cage she came in.

I'd also put some kind'a something in there - scratchy log - or something so she's not totally alone.

And then leave her a week or two or three and THEN try and feed her.

She prolly doesn't know if she's a foot or horseback!
