I'm almost 100% this is wrong.

if your having trouble feeding high humidity and heat usually helps to get them started again. like it said... 95 ish on the hot side

Yea definitely listen to 2kdime.. He knows what he is talking about... Bloods are his thing.. And i dont mean to sound rude, but... this is what you get from ordering from LLL..... I think i even did a post about them, with another kid thats bloods came with eye infections...

Not a smart idea at all. Not for Bloods at least.

We CAN get this little guy eating.

We still need to know the AMBIENT temps inside the cage.

How old he is and how long he's been off feed.

Whether or not he's ever had a fecal.

And if you can cover 3 sides of the tank with a dark material to add extra security to this little guy.

OMG! I can not believe you said that 2kidme. "we CAN get his blood eating!" It sounds corny to say but that's really nice. Ummm.... the ambient is reading 79.8F. I don't know how old he is since LLL never told me. But he has been off feed since I got him, which was March 6th I think. He's eaten a couple times when assisted just because he was looking really lethargic and skinny. And I'm on the covering up thing right now. Oh and he's never had a fecal.

You in NO way are being rude. You're right, I should have never purchased from them. I bought animals from them before and was disgusted with the quality but I was stupid enough to buy from them again. NEVER again will I though.

LLL reptiles are crap when it comes to knowledge, animals welfare, shipping, and customer service. They buy wholesale reptiles dirt cheap and turn around and sell them for high prices. Half of those animals have issues with their health. Lots of poor animals don't even make it alive to their new owners. Please listen to 2kidme! He knows his stuff when it comes to bloods. You may really want to get a fecal done on him due to where he came from and their rep not being all that good. His not eating could be cause he is worm / parasite ridden.

I highly dislike LLL. So if I offend somebody by posting this I appologize.

LLL has no regards for their customers, they are a horrible business, and I would never recommend anybody buying anything from them. Everybody I know that has done business with them has always had something bad happen. When you got your DOA they should of taken care of that, also for that guy saying 95-100, he obviously should be in a totally different business as he is totally clueless and now considered a moron.

Best setup is just an ambient of 81 or 82, a small hide, water bowl, and that's it. Humidity not TOO high, 60 to 70% should suffice.

DING DING DING!!!

2kdime knows what he is talking about.

I second (or third) the request for how you provide the heat, how you measure, what you use as hides, how large the enclosure is, and how you offer the food.

Bloods aren't known for being picky eaters, and LLL is 100% wrong. No bloods should be kept over 90F.

Its in a 5.5 gallon tank with a hide, water bowl, and some plants.

The tank could go, but the OP is having better luck maintaining temps and such in the glass tank. Thats fine...

I think the ambients could be bumped up a degree or two...

No hot spot

And covering 3 sides of the tank could be a good start.
