I recently changed from using ReptiBark to using paper towels. When I used to use the reptibark my BP would usually be on the warm side, occasionally on the cool side. Since I've switched he seems to be moving back and forth a lot, also moving his hides around and pushing them up with his body while in them. This is a new behavior for him.

I fed last week and it took much longer than normal for him to strike and take the f/t mouse. Then 7 days later I tried to feed him and he wont take the mouse at all. I gave him plenty of time, even tried turning the lights off and leaving him alone.

Could the switch to paper towels be stressing him out and causing him not to want to eat? Should I switch back to the bark? Any input is much appreciated!
