Temps are 94 UTH heat side and 85 cool side with ambient of 80. Thanks
So, I'm pretty sure 94F is too hot. I have a baby ball python and I keep her warm side at 90F.

I don't know how old your baby is, but when I got mine she was about 3 months old. When I fed her the first time, I fed f/t. At first she wouldn't take the hopper mouse. I used a hair dryer to heat up the mouse again (because I was afraid the temp of the mouse might have been too low) and I ended up over-heating the mouse and some of its guts came out--just a little bit. When I put the mouse back in the terrarium, my ball python took it within like 40 seconds. My bet is that it had something to do with the smell. You might wanna try taking a needle and pocking a couple wholes in the mouses stomach and/or head.

Good luck.
