Humidity is 45-60. His spine feels more pronounced than my other BP and i can feel his ribs. He does not have the triangle shaped body. I also have 2 hides in the cage but he doesn't use either one, he usually just curls up next to it. I fed him one f/t hopper today and one 3 days ago. I plan to keep offering him hoppers every 3 days and keep a close eye on the temp and humidity. Is there anything else that I'm missing or doing wrong?
Are the hides the right size for him(not to big or too small)?Maybe he needs a lil time to himself. I believe most people recommend 7-14 days of not handling your new snake to let him get used to their new home. Most likely i would take a closer look at the hides as some snakes are very picky about wanting tight fitting hides. You might try different size containers with holes in them to see if he likes that better.Goodluck keep us posted
