Yet another problem feeder thread

Yea, I was trying to make this a "living room" piece and then I went full retard to try to get him to eat. My other balls are setup fine, so I am might just move him over with the group. sigh Thanks!

I think you can make this a "living room piece" with just a few adjustments.

I think I am going to move him with my other snakes. I don't have a thermostat or climate measure here. I just didn't want to move him too much, as I wasn't sure if that would affect his future attempts to eat. Should I go ahead and do it?

I think location is secondary until the husbandry is correct. Ultimately, it's your call where the enclosure stays. I see no problem with it being in that room as long as the cats aren't messing with it.

But first and foremost, getting the temps, humidity, etc... in check should be priority number one.

ALL heating elements, (UTH, heat lamps, CHE) NEED to be regulated to prevent serious burns and even death.
A digital thermometer with a probe and a hygrometer are a must, and an infrared temp gun is a great tool as well.

My two cents would be to get that stuff situated first to prevent any injuries or illnesses developing.
Deciding where the enclosure ends up could probably be secondary until the other issues are resolved.

It will be in the animal's best interest to resolve the issues asap, and will save you headaches and vet bills in the long run. Improper husbandry is often the first reason a snake will refuse food. Once the husbandry is dialed in, then the routine eating usually follows. BPs are, however, known to randomly go off food occasionally and will change their eating habits with the seasons as well.

Moving it to my snake room would give it access to the thermostat in there, but even then, I'm not sure if it is a sure shot that it will prevent burns. I use thermostats with single prongs, and the prong goes up to the highest tank, so it a shoot in the dark for the tanks below it. The pads that I use are 8 watts, and I've never had them go above 90. Sure, one can malfunction, but I imagine that if a bottom row malfunctions, the thermostat won't save it anyway. Am I right, or is there a better way to do this?

It is a small room so, I have a little heater with a thermostat on it to control the temp when it is a bit cool. I use a digital humidity/temp monitor for the entire room that I use for my chickens, but I don't monitor the humidity or temp inside the tanks. No one else have problems with eating.

But I'd really like your opinion on a better setup with the thermostats. How do you manage yours with only a single prong, or do you use multi prong setups?
