Do I have to worry?

Currently she's in a tub and she doesn't seem stressed about me moving around the room. During the day she stays in her hide, but at night she comes out and moves around, not caring if I am there or not. At first she was scared when I would move, but by now she really doesn't pay any attention to what I am doing and also comes looking when I change her water, so I would say she's pretty curious just like my other snakes!

As for the tank: I don't plan on buying a massive one, I would just like to put her into a tank because I can put more hides and so on in there, unlike with the box. And it's also about the temperature and humidity. In winter I won't be able to keep proper temperatures in a plastic tube and I don't even want to think of what the humidity is going to be like...

I was wondering this: I got a male BP, but he's only 6 months old... could it be that's what is messing with her eating habit as well? Whenever she comes out of her hide it looks like she's trying to get to him and she's definitely even more active ever since I got him! His tub is placed on a shelf above hers...

As for pictures of the tub, I can take some tomorrow and post them, but there won't be much to see. There's nothing in it except for kitchen paper, a water dish and her hide, since it isn't too big either... It's the same setup as for the little BP and he's doing just fine and was eating on the day after I bought him, only refusing to eat now because he went into shed...

Your bin is most likely just too big. Without seeing it and seeing the room and everything that's my best guess at this time. Also, consistency in time between offers and prey type is also key.

As for her not eating due to the male. I can pretty much guarantee that isn't happening. Neither are sexually mature. It could be due to time of year. In general this is the cooling months during breeding season and some females stop eating.

Also..quarantine means seperate everything. Not the same rack in the same room. Unless both are in quarantine together. Otherwise what's the point with them so close?
