Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
I think the babe may actually have just taken a pinky. My dad gave me a live pinky, though I wasn't going to try feeding the little guy for a few days to let him settle, I had the pinky a little too close to a heat lamp while I was out and it died, so I tried... struck the tongs/pinky a couple times with a hiss and then grabbed the pinky. I'm not sure if maybe his teeth just got stuck in it, but I quickly put the lid on the bin and I'll check in a few minutes.

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
Thanks. 😁 I'm proud even though I didn't really change anything yet, haha.. I'm just the snake whisperer.
This is how I've got it set up right now, too much?

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
Looks good! They love foliage, at least my little girl does.

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
Awesome. 😊 Hopefully he'll come out and perch on the vine/branches at some point.

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
Went in to mist him and saw that he's taken a liking to the fake plant, too cute.
ETA: There is a water dish in there! You can't see it in the first photo, hiding in the back underneath the plant, beside the piece of wood.

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
One thing I will add. I have bred Amazons about 15 times. All of the babies I eve produced ate defrost fluff mice from their first shed. The fluff retains the heat signature a little longer. I would mist the enclosure heavily in the late evening. Then I would super heat the fluff (e.g., a room temperature defrosted fluff held under hairdryer on hot setting for 30 seconds or so. Then offered to the snake on long forceps. If the snake did not take it, I would tap the snake on the side of the neck or tip of the tail. If the snake did nothing but flee, it was not ready to eat. I would try again a few days later. An area with a hide, whether a plastic hide or plant, works great, and then the last thing is a mesh/intertwined perching area. With the temperature at 85oF, and the humidity high (you need to maintain good airflow also, so I would have a live pothos plant in every enclosure), I never had an issue.
