Joanna, thank your for posting to this thread, I was hoping you'd see it and share what's been successful for you in re-habing these snakes!
Well it sounds like you've got a good plan developing for Hadiya with reasonable expectations. The tub setup won't cost you too much and hopefully the vet can keep the fees reasonable (you can ask for an estimate of service if you're concerned about budgeting and who isn't these days).
When we took Saoirse in we had very little snake experience and nothing with WC adults. It was scary stuff but it was either us take her in or she was going into a freezer. Just take it slow, ask for lots of help and suggests, don't expect miracles overnight but if you work with her and it does work - I can tell you there is nothing I've felt better than seeing one of these snakes come back into their own. When Saoirse fed that first time, it took everything my husband and I had to creep out of our master bedroom so we could high five in the hallway LOL. When Danu did the same, it was just as absolutely thrilling.
It may be a tough road but please believe me it's a rewarding one. You will learn so much about how to manage a non-feeder, about stress and snakes, about your own dedication to these gorgeous creatures - all lessons that you can take forward with you to benefit the other snakes in your life.
