this snake is pissing me off...

[QUOTE]I got her on november 12.
I fed on november 15
I went home from school the 20 (move)
fed her on friday the 23rd
monday the 26 she regurgitated
shed (wednesday the 28th).
monday she finished her shed (the 3rd of december) .
That tuesday I tried to feed her at night and she refused.(4th)
On wednesday and tried to feed her a f/t fuzzy, she refused(5th)
Finally yesterday I tried to feed her a live hopper which she also refused.(10)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From the timeline, she very well probably regurged from the move and stress.
You offered her food a few times too often too soon. Hopefully you can get things turned around these next few weeks.

AND to put her in a smaller, more secure enclosure. Like this:

Look, bottom line is - what is your ultimate goal? To get her to eat? Or to try to make her current enclosure work because it's more aesthetically pleasing?

Like Deborah said - no one said that a tub to get her over this hump has to be a permanent solution. I hope you'd at least consider it as an option.

alright if i get a tub, my only problem is that the UTH I have is permanently stuck to the bottom of the tank so what should I do....

Can you just clarify this for me please. "had her at school" Does this mean she was physically at school or simply in the housing/dorm you live in while attending school?

Its not permanently stuck on there unless its the real thin paper type of heat pad... If its the paper the second you go to peel it off itll prolly rip... if its a zoomed it can be safely removed... obviously just use your head and carefully pull the pad off the tank... the set up in a tub is the same as a tank.
