    Re: funny yet sad feeding attempt...

    Okay, there is no need for this type of conflict. I don't understand why things like this always turn into fights. HaikyFin -- this isn't YouTube comments, it's a forum. I see no need for correcting the OP's grammar the way you did. It's impertinent to the topic and very rude.

Oh and the back and sides of the tank are blacked out. Ambient temps are checked twice a day if not more if I am not working that day, and fresh bottled water in the water dish which is changed everyday (I work for coca cola so I get free cases of water).
    Sounds good! It's always helpful when trying to determine the source of a problem to know a snake's setup. The source isn't your setup, it would seem.

    I agree with this completely.

So that’s not going to happen.
    You could always get a cheap mini-fridge and stuff it in a corner somewhere. That's a great way to keep f/t separate from food and save space.

    I think you could be a little more open with trying feeding techniques, but otherwise, you're doing fine. There is no wrong way to feed. It's not awful to feed him as often as you do, considering mice won't take long to digest compared to rats. As long as he's eating something, that's good. You can't overfeed a BP on a diet of mice. If you ever decide to try f/t, a little zombie dance goes a loooong way. I think it would be worth trying in your situation.
