Congrats, but that's not the best way to test. By dividing the cage up, it takes away from choices, it does not add to it.
yes, it worked. But I would have fill the whole cage and placed you other boxes on top. And yes, I always put the snakes cage furniture in the laying cage.
So is that the first time you had a snake lay that quickly and how does she look? Now try feeding her all she will eat and see what happens.
To actually be a test, you should have set up each female in a different type cage and then measured the results.
As you go on, you can measure the amount of weight loss with each method. That would reflect the stress on the female.
Anyway, after I found this method, I attempted to test methods like you did and found it confusing. It appears, over the long period, size is important. How big is a 100 gallon tank, If I remember correctly, its pretty big. Anyway congrats for giving it a go and have fun from now on. Oh what species, corn snakes?
