New baby Cali king!

[Lascaux]

Hello all! First-time snake-owner here. I just got my baby female cali king in the mail this morning and she is beeeeeutiful!

I won't handle her until Friday or so, but I was wondering if you could tell me if I'm off to a good start with my snakey relationship. I've been sitting next to her tank all day monitoring her-- not getting too close but within a foot or so. At first when I would stand up or move she'd shrink back slightly (which.. you know... makes sense... I just got her). But now its the end of the day and she's spending most of her time either staring directly at me right against the glass, staring at me from her hidey house, or actively searching around unphased by my presence. She's very active and doesn't spend much time hiding. In fact she's spending most of her time on my side of the tank-- which isn't heated.

Is she just gutsy or what? I was expecting her to just avoid me for a while.
