My snake seemed fine in his new tank at first. He was at least hiding, but on a feeding strike. He finally ate for me 2 weeks ago, but since about 3 days after that he has just been roaming his tank. I've tried raising and lowering the temps a few degrees but makes no difference. I tried to feed him this week and he refused, ignored the rat like it wasn't there, even left it in the cage overnight (I feed F/T).

He also has only pooped/peed once in the past few weeks and that was the day after he ate. I get why he isin't pooping alot, but no urates or wet bedding seems strange to me.

Other than the roaming and not eating he seems fine. Looks normal, acts normal when I take him out. So nothing changed behavior wise out of the tank. It just seems like he doesn't like something about his tank and is doing his best to escape. And half the time when he's not roaming he hides behind the hide on the hot spot, not in the hide.

His hides are new with the tank and they may be a bit on the big side, I've tried stuffing with news paper, makes no difference. They are about 8"x8". He's 38" or so and 1300 grams before his feeding strike.



I've turned the hide on the hot spot (right in the picture) so the opening faces the back of the tank, that seemed to get him to go in a bit more, but eventually he stopped that as well.

So anyway, there are 2 heat lamps to keep ambient temps up, they are on a thermostat (that thing hanging in the middle) and have dimmers. There is repti-heat cable under the right half of the tank with a thermostat set at 92 (probe is taped under the tank).

I have two thermometer probes, one on each side, one side is 78-81, the other is more 80-83 ambient. The digital therm/hygrometer in the picture gets moved around the cage (usually by the snake), I use it to see how humidity changes throughout the day. Humidity is between 45-55%, I have a humidifier to add moisture when its really dry.
