yes absolutely positive I took everything out of it when she went missing and then I washed it all thinking we was gone forever. so yes the the enclosure was inactive. Ive only picked her up once to move her into the pan of water. where she stayed so far. I didn't plan on holding her for a while, out of fear that shes starving and might bite... shes never ever bitten anyone before nor has she hissed at anyone but I don't want to take the chance until she gets settled in. just in case. hopefully shes the same temperament id be very sad if this adventure has scarred her for life. she used to let me pet her head and under her chin and everything she was an awesome pet! could anyone tell me if she looks dehydrated to them. I will try to upload a pic
