I like what you have done with the tank. Looks alot more accomodating to her. I'm going to give you some tips from a different persepctive. This may start a rucus, but I believe you should be subjected to different opinions on snake husbandry and not just the "all might powerfull" people on this forum.
So, my suggestions. Take them or leave them If you wish, i'm only pointing out in my 14 years of owning snakes, these methods have worked.
1) The water dish is really not that high. I wouldn't worry about that.
2) The hides do not need to be identical, this is even up for debate on these forums. I have never had two simular hides, my snakes do fine, choose what you like. I do however agree that your move to that pot is a better idea.
3) I suggest moving her to a small container when you feed her. BP's love security when they are eating, a small dark container fits the mold. I use a petsmart box that they put small animals in. But anything that is dark and has some sort of cover would work. I also suggest dipping your feeders into either tuna juice, or making the feeder bleed a bit. This seems to stimulate them to eat. Put your snake in the box, drop in the feeder, close the box and leave for about 30 minutes. This has gotten my most reluctant of snakes to eat.
4) If I were you, I would test out these methods in 48 hours. Let your snake settle into the new environment and try again.
And a few questions,
1) Has your snake shed yet?
2) How old?
Snakes tend to go on hunger strikes. After another month, then I would start to worry. Right now, your snake seems a little stressed. But nothing it won't get over.
