    i am glad your snake turned around her eating habits!

    Yah I learned so much and I'm just trying to help out everyone I can now. Getting that girl to eat was such a huge relief you don't even know... Now she just needs to poop lol.

    If you don't want to buy another tank just put a divider in the tank you have. A tank that size could be cut in half or even less. You should do one or the other though. When balls are younger, too big of a space can stress them out. Make sure you adjust you heater size to work too. Every few months just move the divider back a few inches

    Re: bp not eating...

    Also how big are your hides? BP's like to feel tight in their hides. It makes them feel safer. If there is a lot of room in the hide when you snake is in it try buying a smaller one.
