ok hes not aggressive anymore, been hadeling him yesterdya and todya, very active, i gave him a warm bath today to help loosen dead skin so he can get it the rest of the way off...you digested his meal form saturday the rest of the way while in the tub..lol..i guess he'll be ready to eat on sat (normal feeding day) but as i was holding him and leting him dry off before returning to tank, i was rubbing his dead skin and it was moving and i started to peel but the wife said it looked like he didnt like it at all! what do i do just let him get it off him self and bathe him daily or every 2 days?
i relocated the temp probe to inside the hide and the temp in there is abotu 80deg. my local snake lady lolol...siad that's perfect, that is with otu the heat light, she recomends NO HEAT LIGHT just a pad under te warm side ???? what the heck? the ambeint temp is abtou 74 deg i have no probe to test ground or belly temp on the cool side, but she said he will move about on his own to the comfortable temps. and told me to use a 50 or 75w heat buld regual not nocturnal during the day to bump warm side temps up to 90 and then shut it off when i go to bed. .....this is to recreate the day/night effect correct? well anyways, i'm taking my snake to her on saturday to let her look him over and get exact sex (can't trust pet stores) will post wat she has to say...
Have you already put foil and tape over the top of his cage? I noticed you have a screen top. This helped bring our humidity up and helped keep our temps perfect with out havign to use an over head light or heating element of any sort.
Also dont pull his shed off while its dry....you can rub it while he is soaking or still damp...but never pull dry skin....ouch!
Where do you have this tank set up? In your living room with lots of sun light? Dark bedroom?
I had the same question way back when..with my tank...we never have had an over head light and I was wondering if I needed it. Well I was right, if the room gets alot of day light then no you dont need a light over head.
