BP's go off feed. Are you housing in a tub or tank?

So those of you that have trouble with BP's going off feed.

Are you using tubs or tanks?

Be Honest.

vote now.

i house mine in tub...she went of feed but just took her first meal 2 days ago

I keep mine in tubs - my first ball pythons I kept in a tank and he went off feed for 8 months. My collection generally eats year round.

I have never had any feeding problems or fasts and I use tubs. :) Then again, most of my snakes are still fairly young.

mine are in racks (tubs) and i dont have any breeding age snakes that eat all year around.

I voted tubs but I have a male in a tank who is off feed and a female who is in a tub who is off feed.

Tubs only here and no snakes off feed except the ones that should be :P

Mine tend to feed your around, even males that breed never stop eating, only the big girls breeding stop eating.

You should add 'Other', since mine all live in homemade cages. :) I only have two corns in tanks right now.

My two males are refusing, but they ALWAYS do that in winter regardless of their caging. Everyone else is eating away. :)
When I kept them in tanks, they ate except in winter. When they were in tubs, same thing. It doesn't really matter what TYPE of home they're in, what matters is the season, and the temps/conditions in that home...and the snake, since every snake is different. :D

They'll go off feed no matter how you house them.:taz: If you take them from a tub and put them in a tank, you've pretty much guaranteed it if they're over 300 grams.

Seems to me that this survery is very inaccurate. It isn't poll to determine what enclosure bp's go off feed in, but a poll of what people are housing them in.

There are way too many variables. First -- someone using a tub may be doing everything right as far as husbandry, and the person using a tank is doing everything wrong; or vice versa. Secondly, if a ratio of 2:1 (for example) of all the people taking the poll are using tubs, then that would lead one to believe that a ratio of 2:1 would have bp's off of feed.

In order for this poll to actually work, all tanks and tubs set up would have to be exactly the same, the husbandry would have to be perfect, and there would have to be an equal number of tubs to tanks in the sample range.

Very good thought, but way too many variables!
