New BP not eating? Is that normal?

[Zincubus]

The black wire is connected to the thermostat probe, which is placed on the glass where the UTH is under (it's outside the tank btw). Thanks for the info about the analog hydro/thermometer. I'll be sure to return it and get a digital one. I will also get some branches outside in the morning. However, is it normal for ball pythons to not eat during the winter? Thanks for your help!

Mine eat all through the year ...

It's worth bearing in mind that the thermostat setting / reading is only a guide ... the actual heat under the warm hide could be dangerously high , sadly ..

Put your hand under the warm hide , flat on the floor ... leave it for a few seconds ... does it feel quite warm or barely warm ??


You need to know the surface temps at the warmest places

A cheap digital thermometer with a wired probe is vital to take the surface temps



Try and get a digital temp gun off eBay or Amazon or wherever- they're ten dollars roughly ..
