Will she be okay?

I just got my first corn yesterday.
I have yet to get thermometers and an UTH. The place where I got her also said that she was fed "a few days ago", I don't have any pinkies yet. So, I'd think that she's a bit chilly and hungry.

I won't be able to make it out to a shop till tomorrow(Tues), or if because of the snow, Thurs. Will she be a fine till Thurs? Will this cause bad health issues sooner/later?
 
Assuming she's a little youngster, it's probably fine to let her go a full week between feeds. Let her have 2-3 days of quiet time (no handling, not too bright lighting and left in a low traffic area) to settle down and then try feeding her. Good luck with your new baby!

What is the temp in the room she's in at the moment?

I ask because most of us are in the middle of winter and our houses are pretty chilly right now. Mine is at 68. Pretty low for no heat at all. Some things you can do in the meantime to keep her somewhat warm:

You can put a lamp on top of the viv or shining on one end to create some warmth in one spot anyway, and put a hide there. Or you can use a human heating pad on top of some towels under one end of the viv with a hide until you can get to the store.

Good luck and congrats on the new baby! :wavey:
 
Its about 70F in the room. I turned up the heat to keep it warm for her, first night in a while that I slept without a blanket keeping me warm :dunce:
 
It is unfortunate that you got the snake before the snake's house, kind of that cart before the horse thing. :rolleyes:

Anyway, you need to get some sort of heat nearby, but be very careful not to overheat the snake. Several days is a long time for a little snake to go without heat in the middle of winter. One suggestion is to put the snake's enclosure on top of a high shelf. The temperature from the floor to the ceiling is several degrees warmer.
