    Wont use warm side

    My ball pthon wont use his warm side anymore :/ His temps r 32degrees with 28 ambient temp and cool side is about 24 ambient temp. I try to keep humidity between 60 and 75. This is a recent thing and hes also on his first hunger strike so I was wondering if it could be to do with that?

    If he's not eating he doesn't really need to utilize his warm hide to aid in digestion. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Just focus on husbandry, get him eating and be patient.
