If I were to have her in a tub for say a two month period where she was eating weekly could I then move her back to the tank without causing unnecessary stress and if I did would the same problem just begin again or would the chance be just as good that she would continue to eat?


Thank You again for your responses guys. All the help the better.
Obviously, you're concerned enough about her not eating, that the ultimate goal right now is getting her to feed for you, and do so consistently.

The best advice I've ever been given is "listen to your snake, they'll tell you what they want".

If she eats in a tub consistently for two months, and you want to put her back in the tank, you can try. But if she stops eating again, she may be telling you that she wants the tub.

However, I think once you see how easy it is to maintain a tub, and that if you want to look at her, you can just get her out, you may become sold on tubs and think of something else better suited to such a large enclosure!

Good luck and keep us posted!
