I have pvc cages and the snake I have on the bottom is restless and stop eating. Hasn't eaten since the 20th it use to be my disposal no matter when it would eat now i cant get it to eat and it won't go into its hide box eather. I swithced my snake from the top cage to the bottom cage now shes restless. The temps are the same in all cages. Any ideas on what to do?

Is the bottom tub directly on the floor? If so just walking by the rack can cause extra vibrations that might irritate the snake. It is possible also that the bottom tub might be hotter then the others if you are using belly heat. Do you have hides in the bottom? I have an Angolan in the bottom tub of my 48qt rack and she gets aggravated because she sees the most movement when walking back and forth in front of the rack.
