Hey all! I am new to this forum even though I've been using it as a resource for a while now. Just wanted to thank everyone for all their input. This site is definitely the best when it comes to ball python info. I have recently changed from a large terrarium to a 50qt tub because I was having husbandry issues and decided it was the best for my Pastel ball Monty. I have a few questions regarding the tub.
1) The tub seems very cramped. I've read a lot on here that is the prefered environment for balls but I can literally fit his hide, a skull(for shedding) and plant decoration and a large water bowl. (I use a large water bowl to keep him from turning it over). Should there be more room for him to hang out on the cooler side? I have a uth on a thermostat and have found a comfortable temperature for him on his basking side which the only hide is located. He is two years old.
2) I have switched to newspaper bedding from cypress mulch due to humidity issues and have finally got it down to the norm. He hasn't eaten for nearly two months and I know this isn't a major concern but I would like to try to feed him now that the husbandry issues have been corrected. (The main reason I switched from tank to tub). How long should I wait before offering?
