    Still not eating...
    So this little guy from Bob Clark is still not eating. I received him and waited a week and would eat a rat pup live or fresh killed. I loved him from a 20
    Gal set up to a 36 qt enclosure. It's not dark so you can still see it side but it's not completely clear if that makes sense. That was six days ago. Today I tried a fuzzy mouse, first tried live (snake wouldn't move) then fresh killer and nothing, he even tried to escape. Lol.

    So I will leave the mouse in all night see what happens.

    Here is a refresh:

    Hatched 05/15 (Bob said eat rat pups)
    I received Thursday June first

    Hot side 89-80 on a t stat
    Cool side 80-81
    Humidity ( right now) 77%

    Any thoughts or suggestions on my next step to get him eating?

    Never had a snake that wouldn't eat

    To large
    Enclosure to large. Put him in a six quart tub with a hide. I have found the single serving cereal boxes fit good and my babies always love them.

    Wow I hear so many different things from people. Now a 36 qt is too big? Can you even have a hot and cool side with a 6qt tub?

    Heat pad
    With the right size heat mat I don't have a problem with it. 36qt is way to big. I keep adult balls in 32 or 41 qt
