hey now i just completed tom's (my snake) tank about 2 weeks ago and he hasnt tried to escape from it a single time as opposed to every night before i finished it, so i know hes very content with his new environment. with that said, i wish my snake could like me as much as his new tank but if i were to give him and the tank to someone else, he would still be content with his tank and not miss me at all even though i'm the one who spent my hard earned money on him instead of myself. in other words your snake would act more or less the same no matter who is taking care of it
