So I have no where to turn for help with my new bp because i havent had any luck finding a breeder in my area, so I was hoping someone here could help me. I got a baby bp on may 14th (37 days ago) and it is refusing to eat, the snake itself is about 26in give or take an inch or so and ate the first 2 weeks fine (medium mice) the third week it regurgitated a mouse which i then found out was a heat issue I fed it a a little bit after that and it ate fine. Shortly after that it showed signs of shedding which was when it started refusing mice, it shed fine a week after but it still refuses to eat 3 days after it shed! it has been almost 2 weeks since the snake has eaten and its starting looking a little thin. (Ill post pics) Im worried because this is my first bp and i feel like all the husbandry is in order. The tank is about 75 degrees on one side and 86 degrees on the other, he has two hiding spots on either side but usually lays out semi hidden. the tank itself is a 55gal tank, which i know is too big but it has eaten in it fine before. Im using fir bark as the bedding and have been the whole time, if you guys can think of anything im doing wrong or want more pics let me know or if im just over worrying. I really care for this snake and just want it to be healthy.
EDIT: its been on frozen mice the whole time
