He ate a hopper tonight! Much joy! He seemed to be looking for more though? Thoughts?

My guy looks to be about the same size and he eats weaned rats (about twice the size of a hopper) and just recently he seems to be more hungry than one of those. Reiterating what someone else said, you can go by 10-15% of the body weight or size of the thickest part of the snake. I'm guessing going by either a hopper isn't enough for him.

My humble suggestion would be to offer another hopper and get a larger food source for the next feeding. Or even just get a larger rat and feed that sooner than 7 days.

I use 2 different thermostats, one is a zoomed thermostat and it was about 40 dollars at petco, the other is a 99 dollar herpstat proportional which i like better, but for the money the zoomed works fine, the first one i bought is 3 years old and is still working well. I would also go to a hardware or auto parts store and pick up a infa-red temp gun, they are very accurate for checking temps. Then if humidity is really a problem you can try covering the screen, then add a reptifogger which is what i use on a timer,they go off 4 times a day, and both my bps love comming out in the fog. i like using the front door display tanks, and realize i need to put in more effert to give my guys a perfect enviornment. Good luk, hes really pretty.
