    Re: Tips for Picky Female. Darker Tub?

    Hey guys, a couple weeks ago I picked up some new snakes and one of them is an 1100g female mystic. The breeder told me she's kinda shy and she's a bit of a troubled eater. They said she only seems to eat in the 15qt tub she's in (which I think is a little small) when she actually decides to eat. The tub is clear and they suggested "blacking it out" for her security. Does anyone have some good tips for this? I'm looking for something simple and effective. I've never had a picky eater. I'd like to move her up to a 27qt tub eventually but not if she won't eat. Someone told me to paint the outsides but that seems like it may not be safe. Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to have her to breeding size and health for next year.
    I decided on using gray duct tape and brown packaging tape. I wasn't sure about using paint either so to be on the safe side I used the tape. I was careful not to cover the air holes of course and I left little peek spots so I could look inside and see what my snake was up too. But I think if you check it out there is non-toxic type paints you can use which might be easier too do it with then what the tape is, but the tape is not too bad either, just takes time and careful scissoring. I did the top and sides. For the sides I cut off pieces of tape then tore them in two by cutting up the middle and tearing them in half. The top I used the whole piece of tape.
