They like their privacy and large open spaces make them feel very insecure. Even though you are waiting to feed her, she might be so stressed that she won't eat. I had a snake of an unknown age (he was about 500g in weight) and he was living in a 40g tank when I rescued him. He was so stressed out and he ended up having an RI. As soon as his RI cleared up (after oral medication) and he was done with QT, I put him in a smaller enclosure and he's been great ever since. He eats like a machine and is as docile as ever (unless I'm holding dinner.)
well my sleep cycle has returned to in bed,asleep around 11 pm and up by 5:30 am (my college class week cycle) lemme try and remember when i've seen her where

when i first brought her home she went right for the stump hide (looks like a tree stump) and stayed in it til i went to bed...

next morning she was in the water dish,soaking...and just before i left for class around 7:20 am...i saw her making her way into her cave hide...

when i got back from class later that day (around 2 pm) she was in what i call the "roots" hide (looks like tree roots,and i added some vines and leaves to cover up the large gaps,left the small ones open for her to go in and out)...when i came back from rugby practice around 8 pm she was still in the roots hide...

now yesterday i woke up (round 5:30-6:45am)to her out in the open,right in front of the roots hide, hissing...then she crawled into it...
when i left for class around 7:30 she made her way out of the roots and was half in the waterdish half out, when i came back at 9 she was in the stump hide (which is right by the water bowl)...

early this morning she was in cave hide...then while i was cleaning and changing out her water i caught her tail going into the stump hide...

so she's making rounds around the tank...and I looked up the other symptoms of RI...shes not breathing heavy, no popping sounds,and when i catch her "yawning" (fixing her jaw right?) i dont see any bubbles or anything...

i wrote an email to the breeder asking him for any help,and i thank all of you who have responded so far
