I give any new additions 5-7 days to settle in with no handling before I offer them food.

So snake will be ok for 10 days not Eating?

I'd do the same; wait 5-7 days before feeding. 5 if it's absolutely killing you. And NO handling!! At all!! The snake needs to relax and feel safe and calm before the first feeding.

Mine go 10 days all the time if they are blue on their feeding day.

i got her from a guy owns a shop out of largo Florida. i also had another question i have Elvira in a 10 gal reg tank. but i also bought a 20 gal repti tank because was a good deal and figured why not going to need it some time. would it be ok for the baby corn to be in 20 gal repti tank or is that to big?

It's okay as long as you have lots of vines and hides and she feels secure. I have a 25g baby in a 20L now and if he isn't in his hide he is HARD to find in the aspen!! But he likes it.

I only have one hide atm for the new tank. So i should wait till i get more hides? Even if she burrows in the aspen

I'd stick with the smaller viv, then. And you can take toilet paper rolls and squish them flat for hides. Babies love that. Probably the most important thing is lots of leafy vines. Look at a craft store if the ones at pet stores are too expensive.
