Quick Update W/ questions

Quick update:

My newest carpet pair are doing well another than the fact one of them isnt eating yet (both pictured below)



One of them hasn't eaten for me since I got them on Tuesday (08/23/11) the other one eats no problem the first time I fed him (the eater) he took pinkies, the most recent time I fed him (second time) he took a brained fuzzy no problem. As you can see from the picture "the eater" stays in the same spot ALL the time never comes down lol. You can tell he never comes down because directly below him is feces all he does is adjust himself to release waste then gets back into a comfortable postion lol. The heat lamp bulb is a regular wattage light bulb it's just blue. One question I have is what size wattage bulb do I need for a 29 gallon tank hot spot with a diamond cross in it? Also since this baby NEVER moves from this spot do I NEED a hide for it? if so I'm not sure how I'd get a hide this high up in a tank. someone let me know please (pictured below)






if any one has any opinions/comments about the non eater and why he/she wont eat I'd love to hear them, please read the info below before giving ideas on why he/she won't eat & how I can get her to eat.

Info on the non eater:
- baby diamond cross
- one of a pair I recieved on 8/23
-tried to feed twice on two different occassions: two different items; a pinky the first try and a fuzzy the second try. (four days between feeding attempts)
- now lives in a ten gallon tank was sharing a 29 gallon with his/her pair mate. Since I moving her/him today to their own enclosure I'm getting another lamp and a 90 watt bulb. Is a 90 watt bulb too hot for a ten gallon tank? If so what size wattage is best for a 10 gallon tank? The tank below is what the non eater is currently in. The water dish is also a hide with moss in it. Is the water dish to big? Yes the petco box is being used for a hide lol...I recycle when I can so its temperary (sp) I'm going to find something smaller to use for a hide because that does have a lot of room in it (pictured below)




My sub adult is great he/she gets two medium rats a week or when I see most of the previous food lump fading. He/she recently shedded friday/saturday. (pictured below)



The Coastal carpet baby is doing well also he\she just shedded yesterday. I love her/him because he will take food during shed mode and after. For instance in the last shedding he took a fuzzy one day or two before shedding then today (one day after shedding) he took two fuzzies no problems. (pictured below)







I have two corn snakes they are doing well of course, I've never had problems raising cornsnakes they eat EVERYTHING they can over power and swallow lol.

she might just be stressed from the move. you should also ask the pet shop the last time she ate. Some people say its best to start with pinky rats or day old chicks, I'll try defrost pinky rats.
Also I would use a themometer to check the temp. of the vivarium to make sure it's conducive.
For the one that lays by the lamp all day,stay the because of the heat. I have two jungles and i use heat mats and lamps for them because they are active only at night so with the lamp on 24/7, the snake will just lay there all the time. Just to check this at night turn of the lights in the room and the heat lamp for awhile and observe what happens, and leave the hide in there. How many snakes do you own ?
