Patchy scales and some brown dots...

For anyone who happens to see this, have you had any poor experiences with space heaters? I've read a few reviews on the heater creating burns on the carpet and walls even when turned off (turned off but not unplugged, which sounds terrifying). I guess I'll unplug it every time, but now I don't think I should be leaving it on while I'm away at work for 9 hours.

Maybe he refused the mouse bc you offered it in a way that wasn't conducive to his liking. The heat signature coming off the prey item needs to be strong. Doesn't mean it's too early bc he may be more receptive and accepting of a different prey item. You really just need to continue offering different prey items and see which ones he goes for. I have had some of my pythons refuse offered food and when I reheated it they snatched it up quick, fast and in a hurry.

Perhaps... I'll offer him a mouse this Thursday and I hope he takes it. If not, I can offer it to Yukon (the younger male) who hasn't stopped eating.
