Exactly. My little brother (lives at my dads house) got a bp and i kept it at my house for the first month to get her going since she was only 99grams. I had her in just an extra 28qt tub to begin with. No matter what she wouldnt eat in that so i put her in a 6qt. She ate the next day. By the time i gave her to my lil bro, after about a month, she was in a 12qt tub with no extra crumpled up newspaper and was eating rats no problem.
Some snakes are just more tempermental and need more time to adjust. On the complete opposite side i brought my cinny male home at around 150gms and had him in a 41qt and hes been doing perfectly fine since day one...
