Hello first time ball python owner here. I have a few questions. First though heres my set up. Floyd is living in a ten gallon tank. Hes about a foot long id say. Ive had him almost a week, and the store I got him at said he had eaten almost a week before the day I got him. Im running 78 on the cool side and 86-90 on the hot side. I dont know the hunidity, as I still need the tool to measure it. Im saving fir a better thermostat as I feel this zoo med one is very inconsistent.

On to my questions. Firstly, I tried feeding him a f/t pinky this morning ane he wanted nothing to do with it. I want to try feeding live but hopper mice are the smallest I can get in my area. Any suggestions? Im posting a picture of him alongside this to give a better idea of his size.

Secondly, does anyone have any suggestions as to floyds possible age?

Thanks!
