First-time Owner Juvenile BP Feeding Difficulties

[Stewart_Reptiles]

The enclosure is a mesh topped 20 gallon glass box with aspen bedding. There is a hide on both sides of the tank and two water dishes, one he can fit in. Ambient air temp is 80⁰F. Cool side is 76⁰F. Warm side is 94⁰F. His hides may be a little big. I had closed up the back of the log for privacy. I have had to handle him more than I wanted to. Longest he has been without handling is 4 days. (I am very sorry)
He is 59 grams or 2.1oz. Longest I have waited to offer food is a week. I offer him a warmed fuzzie with tongs at a distance. His enclosure is in the most low traffic area of the house. My heat sources have not been regulated by a thermostat. I have UTHs and a layer of heat carpet. While there are thermometers in the tank I prefer using the temp gun. Pics to follow.

You need to do this to T https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-hatchling-101 and I mean a T, and do so ASAP you have very little time to reverse the situation.

And of course you hest MUST be controlled.

This is not a juvie but an animal that is bare the weight of an hatchling out of it's egg and your husbandry is not optimal for an animal that size.
