Feeding

[hollowlaughter]

Looking out shouldn't be TOO much of an issue, mine does that and it actually seems to entertain him to watch what's going on. These days he hangs halfway out of his hide, tucked into all the plant cover I have in his enclosure. Lets him come out and interact with the environment while also feeling secure since he's difficult to see through the leaves.

So, if you're not needing to insulate your tub, I'd say try getting some more cover options in the enclosure itself for now. Two well-fitted hides, and some cheap silk plant garlands to toss in there and simulate ground leaf cover over substrate.

Here's what mine looked like recently, for example:

She has two of the black smallest sized hides that she loves I may get her some fake plants for the longer sides.

Contacted the breeder last night. He said he was feeding at night in low light. Defrost in cold then the hottest tap water then feed. Will try in a couple of days. She was very active last night. Going to the top of the enclosure. Head is constantly sticking out of hide. Wondering if it's hunger stress.

Just a quick tip, I never dangle the rodent the tail, as this is not how it would approach the snake if it were alive. I use the tongs to hold the sides of the rodent and present it to my snake head first, that way he can strike the head easily

Thanks. I will keep that in mind.
