    New cage

    Hey all,
    Just to introduce myself before my question, My name is Brian. I've been lurking on this site for awhile and have learned a great deal of very helpful information. Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge on this site. Anyway, this saturday I plan on getting a new ball at the rocky mountain reptile expo and I have plans of quarantine already. To accomplish this quarantine though I need to move my other female ball to her new tub in the new rack I just built for her. Tomorrow is feeding day, so if I feed her tomorrow then move her to her new tub on saturday morning, will that cause her to regurge? If so I will just move her and wait 5 days to offer another prey item. Thanks again, sorry for the length of the post.

    If she is an older ball and a good eater I wouldn't think it would cause a regurg. If she has shown signs of stress in the past I think I would wait. If the new rack tub is similar to the old tub it should be a easy switch.

    Some of my snakes had a major remodel of their tank when I became their owner and I never had any feeding issues with them, they are good eaters though.

    Thanks for the reply. She isn't that old probably less than a year not too positive of age when I got her, but when I first got her she did go on a feeding strike for 5 weeks, but since then will only refuse a meal if its not live. I think I'll probably feed her this morning and move her tomorrow morning.
