For using overhead lamp as the heat source...you may be right on that. I actually have one for each end of my tub...not because I feel like I have to...but because I can. :P But I'm also using UTH's on both sides as well.

So long as the temps inside your cool hide are staying in the upper 70's at the very least, then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Good job!

I am still having the problem of the right side being blocked out with who's on line. How did you fix it so you can read the whole thing.
thanks

It's the picture at the top that caused that. I shrank the picture down to fix it. What screen resolution are you using that it is still causing an issue? (I can shrink it some more if I have to....thanks!)

I'm using 800x600 and it still does it.

Proofreading:

Over Handling -- Frequent intrusions into the enclosure, changes to the enclosure, and/or long frequent handling sessions can cause a shy snake to feel vulnerable and refuse to eat.


Offering New Prey -- Changing prey species (ie: mice to rats) or methods (ie: live to f/t) can cause refusal. Such changes can be made, but may require patience and persistence.


Illness -- If all other possible reasons are elimitated, a vet check may be in order to look for internal parasites, as well as possible infections to the skin, scales, mouth or repsiratory system.

Fortunately, ball pythons are extremely hardy snakes that can go for months (if necessary) of fasting without suffering any ill effects. This gives a responsible keeper plenty of time to figure out why the snake refuses to eat and get them on a regular, consistent feeding regimen.

Jusy, I was looking over the caresheet and it is still doing it for me. :(

Ok....I tried a different sort of fix this time. Hopefully that will work for ya.

I threw my screen into 800x600 to see what it looked like...and honestly, that scale just doesn't work for BP.net anymore. Kinda made my eyes cross! :P But hopefully you'll be able to read the whole caresheet now.
