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?

Try returning to top cage, either for good or just to feed!

Also, wiping out and sanitizing both cages well will help.. Its possible the snake smells the last animal that was in their and is trying to escape from the smell..
