Youre so negative... You asked me how big he is and I told you. You also suggested the vet and I said I would go.. And I'm bit sure about the other question I'm not ignoring you it's that I don't know..

That is the problem. You are not tracking your snakes ambient temps. If you are not heating the cage with a che, rhp, bulb, or room heater your cage is going to be at room temp. What is your homes current temp? I really doubt it is 80 which is what the ambient temp of your cages should be.

Snakes will not eat if they are to cold. Being to cold can also start a laundry list of other health issues.

I am not trying to be negative or rude. I am trying to make the best effort I can to assist you in properly carrying for your snakes. I have asked for your room temps several times and have not gotten a answer. If you really do not know you need to get a thermometer today and see what it is.

I am only here because I care. If I did not I would have never replied to your thread. Help us, help you and your snakes.

In this thread the op found the ambient temps were to low. They added flexwatt to the cool side to provide the correct temps and the snake started eating a few days later. Maybe you could add another uth source to keep the cool side surface at 80. If not I would add a heat lamp.

Being stubborn to those attempting to help. Happens a lot.

It's not that I'm not listening... And for my temps out side of the cage it's about 18 degrees so I would say about 70 degrees for you I'm guessing.

For me?

what kind of heating elements are you using?
do you have a thermometer in the tank? If so, what does it read?
any idea on the relative humidity?

Help us, help you.

Like I said. I would have a dead python without these guys.

70 is way to cold. You need to add a heat source. What type of cage are you using? Need to know so we can suggest the best option for you. Describe your setup so we know how many cages need more heat.

wellnhe has been fine for 6 months eating. I'm using a 20 gallon tank large exo terra hide on 1 side water dish on the other. Tank is 3 feet long 1 foot wide 1 foot high.

Add a lamp. Bump it to 85-90. Wait a week. Offer food.

A lamp with a sixty watt bulb would probably do the trick. It may require a dimmer to get it dialed in. You can also hang it from a lamp stand and raise or lower the lamp depending on if you need more or less heat. This also makes the bulbs last longer because you are not constantly moving it.

You should also have a hide on both the warm and cool side. You also need to get some digital thermometers to track the temps. I don't know what to suggest since I don't know what is available up there.
