Thermostat probe placement in my tank?

While I agree with mostly everything you said, this is not entirely true. Spotty eaters are all to common in the BP world regardless of husbandry. I have multiple Adults and Juveniles who refuse often along with some hatchlings who refuse occasionally yet my husbandry is spot on. It just happens, even in perfect conditions

Heard and understood. I should have said things more carefully! I DO think that the essentially shy and rather sensitive nature of BP may make them more prone to food refusals - they can be super sensitive to slight changes and shifts even in good conditions. So it certainly can't always be called bad husbandry. I just get frustrated with so many of the negative generalizations about these snakes, because it leads to new keepers having very unrealistic expectations or getting needlessly frustrated when their snake just...acts like a snake.
