If you aren't using a probe thermometer to measure how hot the heat pad is actually geting then you probably dont realize that is actually warmer than it needs to be. Especially if you are not controlling the heat with anything.

I have tried putting a dead rat in his tank overnight but he refused to even come near it. I just put a pinkie in with his as my rat had it's first litter and I was culling most of them for my corns I was nice and allowed her to keep 5;) .
Re: Still won't eat and pics!
ball pythons go off eating all the time its not uncommon for a ball python to go off eating for up to a year there have been 2 cases where BP's have gone off eating for 22 months which is almost 2 years, as long as ur BP isnt losing weight you have nothing to worry about i weigh my snakes before they are offered food that way if they dont eat the next time i feed them i can tell if they have lost any weight, i offer my yearlings (08's) an adult mouse every 5-7days and my 07's and older get food offered to them every 7-10 days if they eat they eat, again just make sure there is no weigh loss i hope this helps!!!
Re: Still won't eat and pics!
One of my het albinos has just finished her fast of 7 months, I tried everything from live mice to dead mice to live rats to dead rats... nothing.... she had not eaten for ma at all since I got her
I then tried a rat pup and she took that within 10 seconds, and then she took another one. Now she is taking 2 rat pups each week and I'm gonna try slowy to get her onto bigger prey.
Have you tried rat pups? Also I'd recommend putting Monty into a smaller enclosure with tight fitting hides, also when your digi-therm arrives make the necessary adjustments to get your temps spot-on.
It is frustrating, but play around a bit with hides, enclosure etc and you should find what rings his dinner bell....
