Hello everyone! I am staring this new journey with my baby BP I purchased from one of LLL Reptile's retail stores. I've had her for about three days now, and she's not doing anything besides staying in her cool side hide. The reading i'm getting inside it with the thermometer set up there at that hide is about 78F. Ambient temperature fluctuates between 85-88F, and the hot side is 92-95F. She seems situated, but are these readings alright? Her humidity is cosistent at 55-60 since the heat lamp is right under her water, but I keep reading that it should be higher. Can I get some opinions on this?
She's also used to eating live hoppers, according to the shop owner. I'm trying to get her to feed F/T instead, but I have no luck doing so. Tried feeding her last night, and got nothing. I don't think she's stressed, because when I handled her after trying to feed her, her breathing is fine, and she just wrapped on my hand. No jagged turns on her body. So if she's not stressed, why won't she eat? Should I just go ahead and feed her live, like she's used to?
Thanks so much in advanced :'0
