My 2 month old albino bp won't eat...
I know bps can be picky eaters... but I have had him for three weeks and he refuses all meals. I am trying live for now and he just looks at it. He is my first bp do I was wondering... Could it be the weather? Isn't he too young to go off feed for breeding? Temps are 90/75, 50% humidity. I use an uth and a ceramic bulb as well. Identical hides, one on the warm over on the cool. Water dish is in the middle. He is in a 20 gallon tall glass tank. I bought some black con-tac paper to black out the sides and back but still need to put it on. Any ideas? Should I worry?

Your tank might be too big...How much does he weigh? What type/size prey are you offering?

Sorry this is going to be rushed due to time but:
What are you currently trying to feed?
What was it eating when you bought it?
How many times did it eat before you bought it?
What are your ambiant air temps in the tank?
20 Gallon tank is too big for a baby, get a smaller tank or fill it up with newspaper to take up space.
You have a pic of your set up?
What substrate was it on when you bought it and what are you using now?
These are quick thoughts. Sorry for rushing through it...

The only thing that I would add to that list is not to handle the animal untill it starts to feed regularly.....

Re: My 2 month old albino bp won't eat...
i hope u dont have the rosys in the same enclosure as the bp. sometimes the stress of moving them from one place to another from shipping or reptiles shows. can stress them out ans sometimes it might take a while for them to relax and feel comfortable before they will start eating. i would not stress it to much for a while. the best thing you can do is leave him alone try not to handle him as much as possible. for a week or so then try and feed him. i would put the prey item in the tank. and leave the room should eat just fine

Tank does still need some work.
Ditch the log hides and move to a cave or bowl hide one each side. And clutter it up more to fill in empty space and he should eat better for you.
Also keep in mind no handling to he eats consistently. At his size every 3 days for a month or 2 should be enough to get him going.
