Very active little girl

I say try feeding tonight. Wait til it's dark and feed with nobody else in the room. If the snake is out and about SLOWLY dangle the mouse in front of the snake. Don't scare the snake. If the snake is in a hide, slowly dangle in front of the hide, but again, don't scare the snake.

If the snake eats, awesome! If not, don't be discouraged. Wait at least 5 days and try again.

I always advise waiting until the snake eats three consecutive meals without refusal before handling. Top priority is getting the snake eating regularly. You'll have 25+ years to handle the snake. Let it acclimate and get eating.

Also, I never have any temps above 90 in my enclosures. 92 is a hair on the high end, but nothing unacceptable by any means.

Lastly, are your heat sources regulated by a thermostat??

I don't know about nice and tight? They aren't huge... Do you want me to put something in there with her? She's in my room, not being disturbed.

My CHE is on a dimmer, staying right at 80 degrees, and my heat mat is not rising above 92.

A couple pics of the enclosure would cut the questions in half

If your UTH is not on a thermostat i would unplug it asap. When unregulated they can spike to dangerous temps and can cause serious burns or worse to your snake.

Sorry, a can't show a picture, she made her first poop thought, if that good?

Poop is always good. Why no pictures? If you have a smartphone, you can download tapatalk. It's free and super easy to use

Sorry bro, I actually do have my UTH on a thermostat... I thought I said that, but seeing that you responded with quoted text I see now that I left out that bit of information lol. So in the end of she is active that's OK? Just exploring her new setup.

Drop the hotspot to 88. Leave her alone a few days. Throw a live hopper in and go away for awhile. If you need to you can leave a hopper in overnight. If the snake doesn’t eat take it out make adjustments to husbandry so you got 88 hot side, 50-65% humidity and a cool side no less than 79 with 82-84 being preferable for ambient temps then attempt to feed again.
