Re: acting very weird still
last time i fed him it was 2 small rats. but that was like a week ago
Re: acting very weird still
hes prolly just freakin out cuz the new setup then. different smells and feel and everything. a new substrate will change ur heat and humidity so make sure that ok first. u can leave him alone for a week and let him get used to it or if he doesnt settle in after a few days switch back. i went to newspaper and im about to build a rack n go to tubs.
Re: acting very weird still
do you think thats why he is trying to get out??? and my UTH is on a termostat. so the temps are good. and i have a humidty gage. and thats good too
Re: acting very weird still
well how r u measuring ur temps?? u want to make sure ur getting accurate readings
Re: acting very weird still
i dont have a temp gun or anything. i just set my therm on the hot side. and run off that.
Re: acting very weird still
u really gotta get two digital thermometers with a probe and use those for the hot and cool side. wal-mart has an accu-rite for 12 bucks that is awesome. ur temps and humidity may be off adding to the stress. it sounds like ur snake is just stressed out. fix the husbandry!
Re: acting very weird still
i have had him for over a year. and he has been perfect since i got him until i changed the substrate on him. the therm i have has a probe that goes down under his hot hide.
Re: acting very weird still
what kind of thermostat are u using? do u know what temp u r keep ur snake at or r u guessing?? u had ur snake for a year n if ur snake has been hiding most of the time n just started goin crazy, i would say its the substrate u r now using
Re: acting very weird still
its a zoomed. and its set at 91 on the hot side. im watching him right now and he is really trying hard to get out.
Re: acting very weird still
try to feed him and see what happens. Balls get stressed so easily so it may be the substrate
