Went to Walmart last night and bought 2 digital thermometers that also check relative humidity. They cost just under $15.
Just checking to make sure I bought the right item before I put them in the cage!?

make sure they have two separate temp measurements. they should have a probe attached to measure the "outside" second temperature. if that's what you have then you have the right thing.

Sounds like the pervasive good ones ;)
I have a real problem-eater as well - his clutchmate is now surpassing and even trebling his growth - I can't stress over him anymore though, especially after having tried everything. When he gets hongry enough he'll have to eat - and in terms relative to BP's it hasn't been inordinately long.

I got the right ones then. I'll put those in the cages tonight and check the %.
I lowered the temperature 3° last night and she came down from the lip of the cage. She spent all night and this morning on the bottom of the cage. Hopefully she is getting acclimated to the new surroundings and begin eating. Tomorrow will be week since I received her and the male.
Smulkin-Nice family photos.

It has been 4 days since my last attempt at feeding her and still no luck. Going to vegas for some fun, I'll try again when I get back.

BTW, humidity in Marge's cage is 58%. The boy's cage is 67%.

Four days is not long enough to wait. Please wait a week or more before trying again. This snake is going to associate prey with stress sooner rather than later if you keep this up.
