New enclosure

Today I switch my BP's enclosure from the all living things 20gal long to the exo terra 23 gal front access enclosure. Does that mean we go hands off for 1 week to allow her to acclimate? Everything in the new enclosure was place in from her old terrarium and the location of her terrarium is not changed.

IMO I wouldn't think it would take a week, especially since the hides are the same and and other things inside plus the same location. You might want to give it a couple days of rest from handling which is good anyway. (There are a lot more people on here that have more experience and knowledge than me, hopefully one or two of them will give you a response.) When I do handle her I like to handle her kind of often, but for short periods of time, like 10 minutes. But I give it a couple days rest from handling after she has ate. And I like to leave her alone during shed when the eyes are blue.

Balls should not have a problem changing from one enclosure to another, it's similar to what they do in the wild.

I have 2 cages for my 1 snake, a glass terrarium and PVC cage. He eats (and sheds and poops) in both.
