Sweet good catch.

The tape and tinfoil needs to be on the outside of the top. They'll get the tape allover them and that'll suck I promise.

i hope you havent put him in yet

He is in there but he checked everything out when i did (groundlevel) then proceeded to his hide cave. and he's been there since

does anyone suggest that i crumble some sheets of newspaper in the opening spots to make it secure for my bp?

You'll learn these animals are little at the time critters. And unlike puppy's or kittens they stay small and cute for almost a year. Let me know what I can do if you need anything else.

Well to reduce stress you might cover his tank with a dark towel and turn the lights out. Or try the newspaper trick like I said to help with stress.

k, the snake is now out of his hot side hide and moved to the cool side hide.

hey guys, first off i wanna thank everyone for giving me some really helpful tips.

secondly i have a question. When i do attempt to feed my snake again, should i wait for him to be out of his hides? if hes not awake don't attempt a feed? after the first 20 mins of trying should i stop?

lastly. The snake seems to be thermoregulating. The Bp seems to be better in there then that stupid vivarium. My snakes still young. its been a long time since its eaten. i hope it eats this weekend.

thanks again people

I would recommend you to wait until he settles in his new environment completely, at least 7 to 10 days.

When you feed no need to remove the hides, if you have a good feeding routine your BP will know it is feeding day.

One thing that help whether you feed live or F/T is to have the prey close to the enclosure prior to feeding so it entice your BP to eat.

If you feed live, offer a prey and after 20 minutes the prey is still there, just try gain a week from that day.

yeah i understand, i'm just worried for my snake cause its still a younger snake and its been 6 weeks going on 7 and it looks like its thinned out. just wanna get it to eat

If you offer to soon and don't give him the time to settle it will not help, it will only lead to a refusal.
