Hey Brently,
I would also love to see your longer (and not as tall ) enclosure.

Since it hasn't been asked, How often are you feeding now?
My only, newbie advice, is to consider feeding less often. I also have a female, not quite 6ft but maybe 5.5ft. I started spreading out her feedings (same size prey) and started to notice more activity leading up to feeding day. Her roaming, (a sign of hunger/hunting) is my sign to feed her. Her eagerness is back, and see went from leaving it in overnight to striking within seconds(her norm).

Just a thought.
