My BP whistles

[dr del]

Hi,

Thanks. I'm using small rats from a local shop and have been feeding him one per week.
I will not go to one every other week like the vet suggested. That's just too much of a switch, maybe every 9 days and see how he does.
I did put the cool hide in and replaced the warm hide with the humid hide.
Now he's in the cool hide all of the time.
Problem is he's so big that I cant fit all three hides in the enclosure, plus the water dish plus the log in a 30 long.

The reason I suggested smaller prey was that it kept the same feeding schedule so was less disruption to the snakes eating pattern.

He won't notice if the rat is 45g instead of 55g but he will notice if it is 3 days late.

As to the space issue I would use a smaller water bowl and throw the log away - the hides are more important than the log and if the humid hide fixes the humidity issue then the waterbowl size becomes less relevant.
