    I mention it because I didn’t get a sense of your describing the environment you are keeping the animals in. It’s just routine to investigate the husbandry aspect once hatchlings begin to refuse food. Actually it’s something we do regularly for our animals in the event something is off. Why? They should be eating machines when they are young and if they aren’t we have to get back to the drawing board and investigate our setups and examine and re-examine our parameters. It’s our keeping responsibility. We won’t know if anything is wrong or right because all we know is the young python is refusing to thrive and we have to investigate that.

    Oh okay, I didn't understand why you where questioning at first. I see exactly what you are saying now. I see, when you refer to it because he refused food. I see now. Thank you for replying. Yes, and I do agree on that. We have other BPs that eat great. We have a few pickys too. Him being one. I had to try new hides and things to that nature too. Sometimes it just the fact that they want to be as comfortable as possible. Temperature and humidity is definitely a part of that. Again, thanks for clearing that up for me.

    while i would too be curious as to the reasons for this unfortunate tragedy, i don’t think you should beat yourself up about this - all you can do is your v best and this it - the rest is in G-d’s hands you know

    Thank you. I just feel bad for the little creatures. But I totally understand what you are saying.
