    the probe is just outside the hide (which is on the warm side)
    Is it directly on the floor?

    Please don't leave the mouse with your bp unattended it can do damage to your snake if he were to get hungry. I have seen horrific pictures where this has happened.

    They were feeding f/t? I don't see any immediate danger from leaving it unattended.

    Talking Re: BP is trying to escape at night and won't eat?

    The mouse was Frozen/thawed, I'm not going to try feeding live. Also, an update, I've added a bunch of new things. Two more hides, a bigger water bowl since his was very small, a branch-like thing pretty much just for clutter since they aren't really climbers, and a bunch of fake plants. I also had a friend come over who knows a lot about Ball-Pythons and they helped me get the temperatures right. So now his tank is cluttered enough for security and everything humidity and heat/cold wise is great. Thanks for all of your help everyone!! I'll try feeding sometime next week so he can have some time to get used to all of his new hides and such.
