And I agree, if your snake is refusing food, I'd also lengthen the time between offerings, from a week to 2 weeks, & potentially even longer- because offering too often just stresses them anyway, & can make them LESS likely to eat.
Understand that with snakes, especially BPs- food refusals "happen", & remember they often fast in the wild, according to the seasons & their needs. As creatures that eat multiple times a day, it tends to worry us until we get used to the idea that snakes are just designed to fast at times. Sometimes it's just what they do.
allll this info, you are amazing! Thank you!
I’m going to try to find a thermostat so I can stop switching bulbs. Sounds like that will be MUCH better. … and then I guess I’ll just stop stressing so much! Ugh.
