I plan on ordering a herpstat soon, so that should put my mind at ease as for as temp control goes.
As far as hiding goes, he sort of rotates where he is at. He does hide in both of the hides, and sometimes he just curls up under a branch and a fake plant that is in there. Sometimes in the morning or at night I notice him partially hiding with his head/neck out on a branch or something similar to that. After the black light comes on at night he is all over the place, especially interested in the opening that is in the aluminum foil.
A freind of mine has two pet rats, so I can get some used bedding from him. My snake is quite small still, so I'm not quite sure what it is that I should be feeding him. The last thing I tried was a fuzzy mouse.. and it seemed to be just smaller than my BP is around. If the pet store was feeding him pinkie/fuzzie rats and I'm trying to feed fuzzy mice, would he not recognize the scent as food?
Are there any specific techniques with the "zombie dance"? I have pretty much just been dangling it close to the ground by the tail.
I'm feeling like I don't know what I'm doing at all!
