Ooooh Noooooo!!!!

I think I did a boo boo.
I redid Ozzy's cage last night , took old stuff out put new hides in etc., cleaned and added a human heat pad and did away with the UTH .

Well since I put him in last night he has spent all the time in his hot hide. So he did come out this evening cruising about and it was feed day so I put him in the feed box warmed up the mouse and nothing!
He has been a great feeder who would jump on it soon as offered
I left the mouse and him in the box for like 10 mins then warmed up mouse and spent about 3 mins shaking the mouse about and nothing!
Do you think the change in his house, hides have affected him???

I hope I didn't stress him out to much

[nitsuj]

I wouldnt worry about it this soon. Why not give him a few days to get used to the new setup and then try again?

[Marla]

Ditto what Justin said. He is a little stressed but he'll get over it no biggie.

[JLC]

Ahhh...ya scared me, jotay!! I thought your snake had escaped or overheated or something horrible! LOL
I'm sure his appetite will come back in a week or two!

[jotay]

I'm sorry JLC didnt mean to alarm ya!
He was just feeding so well. I was worried I stress him to much trying to make his cage better and I think I am the one with the stress!

Shouldn't be a big deal. just needs to reacclimate. If you did away with the uth, how are you providing belly heat? Just curious.

[jotay]

Human heating pad from Walmart they are about 12"x14" no auto shut off
seems to be working good

[Ken]

Coolness. I look forward to changing after I get my money's worth out of this UTH.

[jotay]

yeah the UTH's scare me cuz they heat is so uneven.
So I spent the 10.00 on the human pad
