    New Ball python owener, can you just have a check?

    Hi guys, first post here so take it easy!

    I bought my first BP and snake just over a week ago. I have:

    • 456 x 305 x 305 mm glass vivarium
    • One heat mat hooked to a thermostat. The hottest end of the viv is appprox 33C (91F) the coolest end is about 23C (73F). I don't have a thermometer on the glass, rather a digital one i take a reading of the actuall substrate with. This is my biggest worry. The heat mat only spans half of the tanks bottom.
    • Humidity sits at just above 50%
    • She has one hide ( I plan on getting a second when I get a bigger viv (hen money permits))
    • I have handled him since I got him (Ok, i know most agree you should leave for at least a week, some handle everyday)
    • She hasn't eaten since i got her and she had been feeding at the pet store.


    When I feed, I defrost a mouse in boiling water, and tong feed (in his viv, ive read conflicting info but that it is supposedly the best way)
    She doesn't seem interested one bit, sit in her hide and thats that.

    Any advice or info would be great.
    Thanks!!!
