still not eating

[aaronyarm]

Hi all,

I posted on here a week and a half ago about my Baby bp not eating -

Well its now been 5 1/2 weeks.

the temps are fine, the humidity is fine, the bp seems to be looking round the enclosure a lot but just shows no interest - I have tried making sure the fuzzy is really warm, i havnt tried putting the bp in a brown paper bag yet?

I have tried everything any suggestions? should I try an assisted feed? will thus help get a routine started? how does one do this?

hope someone can help

You say baby. How old? And has he eaten for you before?

sorry my bad, i use the term baby loosly - the breeder said he was eating befor i got him, at the mo he i sprob around 18 inches, mayb tiny bit less. He has not shed in all this time either

Was he a feeder when you aquired him? Are you offering him what you know he has eaten before?

[aaronyarm]

he was a feeder when i got him and I am offering him the same

What size enclosure are you keeping him in? How are you measuring temps (what are you using) and how much are you handling him?

[aaronyarm]

the enclosure is the same ground space as a 20gal however t is only half the height - i have got 2 therms measuring the heat at either end. I have not been handling him the last 2 weeks, only going into the tank to change the water. And oviously to try and feed him

What type of thermometers? Digital or dial?

Here's a picture of how I have my babies set up, much smaller enclosure than what you are keeping yours in. And these "babies" are now over 250 grams and never missed a meal, and are still in this enclosure:

You still didn't specify what kind of thermometers you are using, and how are you measuring the humidity?

[aaronyarm]

they are dial therms, looking at it, there is porb the same amount of groundspace as in yours, Nice BP I like the black running straight down its back
