I got my BP about three weeks ago. He seems to be a little over a year old. He's in a 24 by 12 tank with aspen substrate, a lamp on one end, an UTH on the other, a hide on both ends, a water bowl and a humidity of about 40, basking temp of 90-95 and a cool end temp of around 80-83.
He won't eat! I know this is quite normal for BP's, but I'm sure you all know the feeling of frustration and worry. I tried to feed him a week after getting him, he acted as if the mouse wasn't there. I dangled it in front of him and he actually got scared. The second time he completely ignored it for over twenty minutes, so I gave up and returned him to his tank. Today, I tried again and he didn't seem to notice it. I dangled it, dragged it across the bottom of the box, cut it open a little, everything.
Also, for about the first week and a half or so he only moved around during the late late night hours. Now he's on the move 60% of the day. He keeps poking his head on the roof of the tank and the sides. Is he stressed? And if so, what in the hell could it be?
