He STILL won't eat

[Zincubus]

Alright, thank you. I cannot get a new enclosure at this time as I cannot afford a shorter one and we are going on vacation. I do have a thermostat on the UTH, but I don't on the lamp because I have no way of getting the probe to stay under or around it.

Well I'm...disheartened. I thought I was doing at least most things right. I know I'm a beginner, but I'm doing my best to perfect my husbandry. While I wouldn't rehome Asriel because I love this lil beep so much, maybe I should've stuck with small, furry creatures.

Hey , don't get disheartened- snakes are amazing creature and will enhance your life for decades !


There are so many things to sort out .. probably all mentioned in previous posts ..

For me if you have a heat mat running on a thermostat then I'd stick with that for now and ditch the lamp as it's NOT regulated by a stat .

Then some easy things ... dark paper or card on the back and sides of the tank , try and get two identical hides , get rid of that HUGE water bowl and replace it with a much smaller one - Royals don't need to soak so that thing is just taking up valuable floor space . Royals don't appreciate the wide open spaces so branches and fake foliage are appreciated BUT he's got hardly any floor space to move around .. imagine yourself in there and maybe you can see where I'm coming from

Then leave him alone apart from keeping the water fresh and then try feeding as already described --- in the evening.
