Ball python not eating

[dakski]

My uncle gave me a digital thermometer to use to check it. when I was testing I found out the heating pad had come off the bottom. I put it back on with tape and let it sit for a bit. The warm side has went from 80.4 to 88.3 so it's going up. I'm gonna give her a couple of days before I try to feed her again.

Digital thermometer or IR temp gun? The latter is what you really need to know ground temps.

I would unplug the heat pad unless you have it regulated by thermostat. Too hot is worse than too cool.

Over 92-93F, which a heat pad, unregulated will get too in no time, can start causing problems for your snake. Even a little hotter = neurological damage. A little hotter than that and she dies.

People on here have tried to gently warn you, and even some not so gently. You keep saying you are doing X, but we are telling you need to do Y, Z, A, and B.

Your snake = your responsibility.

I want you to understand this is life or death for you snake. Not just heat wise, but if she doesn't start eating for you soon, she won't make it either. As stated earlier, she will NOT eat for you until conditions are correct.
