I second the dollar store comment. I get a lot of my reptile "supplies" there, i.e. water bowls, hides, plants ect. And if something happens get messed up or broken during cleaning, say a water bowl, oh well, I just go but another one. Sorry, I got a bit off topic.

Re: Worried about my bp
I found that adding clutter did wonders with all the conditions perfect. I have no free floor space in my balls enclosure and haven't had any issues since. Covering the entire floor with hides has resulted in my ball not refusing food - if anything he is getting fat.

Sorry your little guy isn't eating. I'm hearing more and more that Petsmart is feeding pinkies. I work for Petco and my BP's don't even get sold until they are on adult mice. If they are refusing food, not 60g, and are not on adult mice they don't even hit the sales floor until they are all of the above. I have one snake in the back since June because I'm still assist feeding him. He just does not want to fricken eat. Petsmart needs to get their protocols changed!
Is your little guy eating yet?

Just an update. I got the 20g tank abs some more clutter for him. I opted not to handle at all this week. I'm gonna try getting tomorrow. If he refuses I'm going to transfer him, he will already be mad at me anyway lol. If he eats I'll wait a day or two then transfer him. Since it's only been a week since last try, I haven't tried feeding yet. Here's hoping tomorrow.

Try the hairdryer method AND generally best to feed in the evenings

Re: Worried about my bp
Final update! I didn't handle him all week. Thawed the mouse on top of the tank for several hours. Held the mouse to the light to great. Put the mouse in and he struck in about 10 seconds! Wrapped him up and gobbled it! Thanks for all the suggestions.
