Plus, you might want to give it a couple of days to settle in before you worry about not basking and stuff like that, if that is what you are asking about. Unless you observe really weird behavior.

Depends, at first, most newly acquired reptiles want to feel safe first, warm and full second. It shouldnt last too long though, just give it time and privacy for a couple of days, it should come around.
