As far as his environment goes, I have an UTH with a thermostat attached to it and a digital therm/hyg with two sensors. The reading is constantly at approx 85 degrees and humidity fluxuates from 45 - 50%. He's always on the side by the UTH, so maybe I am keeping it a bit too cold? Maybe I should increase the temp to 90? I'll do that when I get home.

I'm just really afraid to feed live. I know I'm a wimp, but really the only way I agreed to let me son have a snake was becuase of the f/t option. Now I'm in love with snakes myself, but still not ready for live prey. Just no cut out for it. I've been a cute cuddly furry pet kinda person all my life until now
Yea 90* for the uth is good. Make sure thats UNDER the substrate. So you put ur thermometer probe under the substrate(keep in mind its the thermometer probe not tstat probe) if you have the temp at 85 there is some degrees lost between the uth and the top of the substrate where he is so i would raise it a bit. Also try to bump ur humidity up a bit if u can keep it at constant 50-60%
