Baby ball python husbandry/pet store rescue

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I guess I'm just being impatient and worried because he still hasn't eaten. I have him in the tub now but I put more holes in the side to keep humidity down, thermostat in between the uth and tank. Probe from hygrometer inside in the bottom of the tank. I also moved the enclosure to a separate room nobody goes in. Snakes are unlike any animal I've ever owned so I should have listened to you guys in the first place I'm sorry. I jus hope its not too late. There's a window in the room I have him in should I still have the lamp for him? The hygrometer is 89 on the probe and 78-79 on the cool side, humidity 56%. I just did this how long should I wait to try feeding and would a live mouse be the best for him since he's still scared? Every time I go to open the tub to check the guage to make sure its heated right he's at the top of the lid looking through the holes I made

You need to be patient, I know it's your first and it is stressful but patience and optimum husbandry will pay off. Stop opening the tub all the time, the more you open the more you are stressing him too, LEAVE HIM alone as much as possible and offer a live hopper in 5 to 7 days.

The natural daylight from the room is more than sufficient.
