How do I know when my snake is hungry???

[tttaylorrr]

No its fine, I just want my snake to be okay and I'm not sure what you mean by husbandry issues? I have a temp gage, a hiding hole wood thing, water bowel, and a little fake plant for shading in the cage. outside i have a heat lap and a heat mat. He hasn't ate in 3 weeks and I think he may be hunting except its the middle of the day.

"husbandry" is the environment you create for your animal within their enclosure. this includes temperatures, bedding, homes/hides, equipment regulation, pretty much everything besides the snake. proper husbandry is a HUGE part of owning a beep.

here's what i posted last time about your husbandry (harsh words removed):

those UTH are NOT meant to be removed. if you read the instructions you would have known this. you have probably damaged the internals and it is most likely very dangerous. there is absolutely no reason to ever remove it "because it's daytime." a thermoSTAT will regulate the temp thus making removal unnecessary. get a new UTH, get a THERMOSTAT like NOW, and use it.


throw away that analog thermometer. it is worthless in terms of accuracy. also i don't see how you're measuring humidity. get a digital thermometer/hygrometer combo for $10 at walmart.


ditch the bulbs. light stresses beeps out. get a CHE (ceramic heat emitter) instead with a ceramic socket.


that water dish is ENTIRELY too small. the animal should be able to fit in it.


you have a hide that's open on both sides, and only one. two identical cave-like hides is standard. that hide is no where near secure enough, hence why you never see him use it.


PLEASE go to the husbandry section on the forum and read ALL the stickied threads.


good luck.
