    Yes, I've tried feeding him in the 35 gallon breeder tank (which is the upgrade) to no avail. By all accounts, he seems very comfortable in that new tank. He goes from hot to cool side often, hangs out at night watching us all get ready for bed. He'll even just hang half in and half out of his hides just chilling. My only problem is he wont eat in there. I've tried feeding him in a smaller plastic bin which I use occasionally with the other snakes for feeding or temporary housing while I clean their cage. Again, no luck with Scar. He just wont eat. I do understand that BPs are notorious for going off feed for months at a time and I'm used to that. I've BPs for 9+ years. I just find it weird that Scar hasnt eaten since getting into the new tank. Feeding him in a cardboard box may work since it'll seem more enclosed than a see-thru plastic bin and the only way out would be passing the meal. I'll try that at his next feeding. Thanks.
