The temps and humidity said in the first post are current. I'll get a picture of the full setup when it's daytime and the day bulb is on. I did try to "scurry" the mouse around, he seemed scared of it. I did long passes across his hide and he curled up and tucked away his head. He only gets close and pokes it if I hold it nearly still and then he just seems to immediately get bored and decides to ignore it.
The last time I thawed the fuzzy I did so in hot water until it felt warm to the touch, close to live temperature. He followed the heat signature for a second and smelled it but ultimately decided it was of no use to him. He actually seems to pay attention to the prey more in the tub than in the tank where he just smells it once and slithers away, never to touch it again, even staying in the cool hide to avoid the warm one where the mouse was sitting near.
I'll wait another three days to make it five since I last bothered him, and still am considering trying live again as I just don't want to try the f/t and have it fail to leave him without food for another few days.
