Your snake is 5 years old it could be 6 to 12 months before he resume feeding, adults tend to take longer to adjust to their new environment, however you also have things you want to address the temps fluctuate too much on each side (you want to see a 2 degree variation at most) so 78/80 and 90/92 would be ideal.
Thank you for your help, How do you keep your temp from fluctuating to only 2 degrees- the Tstat controller has a 4 degree variable before it kicks on in the hide and on the cool side the ambient air temp outside the habitat is 80 degrees how do I get my snakes habitat to 78/80 when my house doesn't even get that cool on average? In their natural environment the fluctuations cannot be that minimal to be only 2 degrees off. My herp and breeder recommends to try to keep near those temps but +/- a couple degrees is normal and would also happen in their native environment, that is what we are trying to do for them correct? Trying to mimic their natural home is the goal. Please don't take my questions as any kind of disrespect or anything just trying to understand. Thanks for feedback.
