Hey guys,
My sister got a rough green snake from petco about 6 weeks ago. We got it to eat just fine a few days after bringing him home. (he hunted medium crickets) But since that first time he has blatantly refused to eat anything. We have tried medium and small crickets and superworms with feeding tongs. Temps are usually 80-85(hotside) during the day and drop to maybe 75 at night, she's been using an infrared low wattage heat bulb. Humidity bounces between 40 and 70 as she is not home too often during the day. He is being kept in a 10 gallon. He has plenty of clutter in his cage with wooden structures and vines to climb through and places to hide. We are getting quite worried and are unsure of what to do. When she brought him home he weighed in at 10 grams and is currently 7 and dropping. We have been trying to limit handling as well.
Please, any experienced advice is greatly appreciated.
Here's a picture of how his cage has currently been set up.
Here's a picture of him, he looks a bit brighter than normal in it due to flash, he has always seemed considerably darker than most photos I've seen of rough greens online.
