hi I am new and need help please

Ok, sorry. I will try not to freak out, I am just very worried.

What kind of container is it in? Is the uth on a tstat?

It has eaten for you?

Do you have things like moss, drift wood, fake plants to junk up the cage? These things help to make young snakes feel secure.

Is the breathing accompanied by any mucus from is nose or mouth? This may appear as clear stringy stands seen when your snake yawns. Which is another sign of RI, frequent yawning.

I have had him since october and he was a great feeder until december (eating every week) there is some fake plant for him to hide in but not enough to impede his movement.

Umm its in a long, wide, flat critter keeper. I was told that it was good for him. He yawns sometimes but not often, there is no mucus. There is no tstat on the heat pad, I'm actually not sure what that is.

Tstat means thermostat.

Oh ok. Umm I do have a temperature reader that is digital and I keep it right next to his heat pad to make sure I know the exact temperature he has.

No that's a thermometer.

A thermostat regulates the power going to the uth to keep it at the correct set temp. If you don't have one the odds your uth is to hot is very good. If your snake was to come into contract with the cage floor under the substrate it is possible it could be burned.

Oh jeez! I never knew that...how can I set up a thermostat????

I use Herpstat. I have four of them and have never had an issue. I always say buy the best tstat you can afford. When you buy a cheap one you will end up buying a few cheap ones and after two or three you could have paid for a Herpstat that was still working without ever putting your snake at risk.
