The BPs never stayed to the cold side so I figured they are were content with the temps...at times in 90-95 area, then to 85 areas (middle), then to cool side cave at 78.

Doc said setup was fine, Cyprus bark at the bottom 1.5" deep, UTH on hot side controlled by Repit-therm, combo deep dome fixture on hot side with a 50w day heat lamp and 50w night bulb. Fixture is mounted so I can raise or lower the height to control temps if house temp increases or decreases. The tank is a 20H glass. I have 2 glass thermometers in the tank for accurate temps working on getting a better humidity gauge. As I said before though, nothing has changed in the setup. I had this thing running for a week prior to getting the BPs to insure it ran perfect.

Doc didn't say anything about the weight to us, I felt she should be closer to 60-70. Food being offed are live, breeder feed live so I did not want to switch before they got used to new home. Did not touch them for a week after home ether, until feeding time.

Back ground on myself, before marriage I housed 2 BPs, Red Tail, Br Ranbow, and a Blood. This would not be my first go at this for sure. I never had such young BPs. My red was this young but ate like a horse. Same with others. Never had this issue with other BPs ether.
My first babies too and was stressing because they were so young, mine won't even think about it's food unless it was live and are now eating rat pups or asf's hoppers. Slowly moving them up in size till I get to the just right!

Could it be that he just has not settled in yet?
