yea 80-85 over all temp no hotspot they didnt want it yea i have kept ball pythons before and never encountered this problem. Especially with the feeding. I just recently put one of my males that wasnt eating and acting crazy with a female within 5 mins they were locked up so thats great and exciting lol. I will keep him in there for 3 days thenpull him out wait a few days then try to feed him again.
