When was the last time he ate? How long has this been going on? and just because he is sitting on the floor doesnt mean there is something wrong with him. I have seen this many times before.

I got him about a couple of weeks ago. It was a Thursday he ate that Sunday. I feed all my snakes on Sunday I tried to feed him at night time. Well I woke up this morning and he was in the floor and since I had him he is never done this he is always been on the perch

Humidity is from 50 to 80%

Keep it high as possible. 50% is a bit low far as I know, unless you mean its dropping to that during the night, which still might be a little low. I can't really help much as I don't have mine yet. Hope it isn't anything to worry about.

I agree with what has already been said about staying on the floor of the cage...this just happens sometimes. I had a male that suddenly decided to rest on the floor for a few days in a row (still went up on his perch at night) and another that decided to perch on the side of his water bowl for a week. I also disagree with keeping your humidity as high as possible, which will likely cause respiratory problems. I try to keep mine around 50%-60%, and spray every other day or so to bring it up to 90% for a few hours. My humidity frequently dips down to 20%-30% in the winter and I've never had any issues. I've talked to quite a few breeders with very large high end collections that rarely, or never, mist. Airflow is one of the biggest things to watch out for, as too little airflow can influence the growth of mold. Your little guy may be going off food to get ready to shed, or maybe for no reason at all. I would wait and try to feed again next week, it is probably nothing serious. Is it an import?
