I'm confused - I thought it was mid 90's on top of the substrate. How can it be 87.5 under the substrate? And what's a reptile thermometer?

Make sure all husbandry is in point. Make sure hides are small, tight and secure (no half logs - hides should have one opening and be small so the walls touch the snakes body when curled up inside). Don't take him out to play until he eats. Try feeding a rat pup. I'd even venture to say try live food.

Get your husbandry correct per the previous advice. Also, be sure ft rats are warmed to live animal temps. Pythons zero in on a heat signature, if it's not warm enough it will not be recognized as food.
