Re: What if my BP wont use his hide container??
Cheers to a fellow rescuer!!!
Our situations are almost identical. She's exactly three feet. I've had her almost a month now and she has really put me through the paces with feedings, cleanings, BMs, and a shed.
Hope *ahem* Monty *ahem* has a fast recovery.
This is Dasia:

Re: What if my BP wont use his hide container??
gorgeous! yea I have to get him, *altho now i have people tellin me he may be a she* so monty to a vet, and get the tank set up well. since I already know he has an RI i need to get him to one quickly, and in the meantime im keepin the warm side above 90, and the cool side above 85. thats what I was told by the reptile pet store sales reps.. but it is just opinion so anyone know differences in temps for a sick snake?? I dont really care if i am wrong,so please tell me! I just want to fix it and get my snake healthy again!
Re: What if my BP wont use his hide container??
Thanks. That was right after her shed.
Again, good luck. It sounds like he's in great hands.
Re: What if my BP wont use his hide container??
so the good news is monty loves his hide, and i just fed him. even tho he has an RI his feedin response is wicked! I opened his feed cage, turned the carryin case with the mouse inside upside down and before i could shake him outta the carryin case monty was outta the feed cage and into the carryin case to get the mouse hahaha so im stoked hes eattin well!
Re: What if my BP wont use his hide container??
85 on the cool side is a bit high

I would suggest keeping a 82C and a 93W for a sick snake. More variability than 80C and 90W and not too hot. Just enough in the parameters.
Also allows for thermoregulation!
Re: What if my BP wont use his hide container??
thanks! i appreciate it! i am doin my best to maintain the temps, at least there is no drastic changes but i do live with 3 other ppl and with one temp controller. he stays in my room, so i keep it toasty, but i am doin the best i can with circumstances! finally found a good vet, hopefully gettin him in tomorrow! suks havin to find things in places u normally arent grrr
