Hey, I just got a bp from a friend who gave up on it after 2 months cause it wouldn't eat. The pet store he got it at said they had it 3 weeks and it never ate. So it hasn't eaten for a long time...... I got it April 26 and have the cage set up according to the research I've done. 20 gal tank, UTH with hide over it on warm end, another hide on cool end, 2 water dishes (trying to get humidity up), blue light over hide on warm end. I've held him just a few times, to check him out and such. Eyes are clear, skin bright. I'm not very "educated" about bp's, though I cared for a fox snake and a bull snake (both about 4 1/2 ft long) while in college. I know these 2 snakes are not as particular as far as care goes when compared to a ball.

My friend (the previous owner) probably didn't have the proper temp/humidity ect. He really didn't know what temp the cage was at cause the gauge fell off the glass. He had no humidity gauge at all and no UTH. I'm hoping these are the reasons the snake didn't eat for him. I'm doing my best to right the wrongs and crossing my fingers that damage hasn't been already done. I'm gonna try feed a f/t fuzzy mouse on May 3 (will be 1 week of having him). He seems healthy, maybe a touch thin though.......
