Thermostat probe placement in my tank?

"BPs don't eat well and skip many meals". That's true of any snake in less than ideal husbandry conditions. In many ADULT snakes there may be spans of time determined by season or breeding state that include meal refusal. But in general, a baby/juvenile BP - and most adult BP - will only refuse meals if something is off about their husbandry. So that isn't a characteristic of the snake. It's an issue with the keeper.

While I agree with mostly everything you said, this is not entirely true. Spotty eaters are all to common in the BP world regardless of husbandry. I have multiple Adults and Juveniles who refuse often along with some hatchlings who refuse occasionally yet my husbandry is spot on. It just happens, even in perfect conditions
