Well I am the only one home at the moment and holding the house I would rather not get bit if ya get me. Umm What does OP mean?

Also I just read 90 is basking temperature, ALSO I forgot to mention he always has a warm spot in his cage and a cool spot, like half/half hes half on and half off, although hes being more active with the mouse out of his cage, Umm hes being handled just fine no aggression and I had mouse smell on me not thinking I handled him and no biting. So I am just worried about him not eating, but my father inlaw snake Nate 11yrs now he didnt eat for a full month!! when he first got him. The mouse honestly looks almost full grown so I would call it a hopper?
OP is original poster Sorry I misunderstood. When you said you were taking him back to the pet shop, I thought you were returning him. Is there any way you can get him set up with an under tank heater and a thermostat? It's over 90 in my house, and everyone still has their heat and t-stats on. When it gets too hot, they simply shut off. It'll be much easier for you in the long run, as you won't have to constantly monitor and worry about his set up.

You'd be surprised how big of a feeder the little guys can take down. It's probably not too big for him, but if you're concerned I'd definitely get a live rat pinky if you can get your hands on one. But offer it after he's been settled for awhile and isn't stressed.
