He STILL won't eat

[MissterDog]

I'm getting confused myself now ..

I'm posting on a Corn snake thread as well as a few others !



Apologies .. of course 80 isnt too bad for a Corn Snake but it isn't close enough to be ok for a Royal !!

I have asked a few times HOW he's measuring these temps and I still don't know the answer .
That's a big concern right there .

That said if he's going on vacation I dare say 80F maybe better than leaving that unregulated bulb pump out crazy temperatures....


I really don't know how this is gonna end up tbh ...


Maybe better leaving it in a local pet store for a couple of weeks - they do snake sitting over there , I presume ?

He could leave it there , have a vacation and sort the set up properly then get the snake back ... sorted !

Haha I’ve done the same thing before by mistake so no worries :p


OP does have a thermostat for their heatmat so they could adjust the temp HOWEVER I agree the uncertainty of how OP is measuring surface temps is concerning, even more when vacation is limiting options and time for adjustments. Very tricky situation

Not entirely sure how much I’d trust a local pet shop for sitting given how most employees are not knowledgeable and could make things worse. That and the possibility of getting mites. It’s another option at least but not without risks. Unless OP could hire a pet sitter familiar/experienced with snakes to look after them?

OP we wish you luck and hope for the best so when you return from vacation you can get everything sorted if you are unable to before leaving.
