The obviously there are some differences in her new home as opposed to the tub. The tub was the bare minimum, a thermostat, an infrared bulb pointed at one side of the tub, one hide, water bowl, and a rock, and she was thriving, very interested in everything, pretty predicable day/sleep night/activate cycle.

The tank has a UTH on one side with a properly sized half log hide over it, another, slightly bigger hide on the cool side of the tank, same rock, same waterbowl, same temperatures (made a custom lid and luckly it keeps humidity and temperatures just right.)

I've tried letting her soak in warm water for about twenty minutes, but that didnt work.

I'm just wondering what could even possibly cause her to stop going to the bathroom.
Not saying it's related to pooping but I'd definitely switch out those hides. Half logs aren't secure enough for a ball python and 2 identical hides are recommended.

I'll skip the feeding suggestions already made by others and just iterate that sometimes a snake will go awhile without pooping. Expect a big gift next shed if not sooner
