Breaking The Habit

[771subliminal]

1. Oakley since around mid November and Hissy around the end of November.
2. They are kept in separate tanks, Oakley in a 40 breeder (I know too big but I plan to downgrade) and Hissy in a 10 gallon aquarium.
3. I received Oakley from a friend who could no longer keep him and Hissy from Emerald Bay, a reputable source that is local, they do a lot of business with famous people and athletes.
4. Not sure how old, I suspect Hissy is slightly older because she is a few inches longer. They are both fairly small I am not sure about exact age or weight. But they are a bit larger than the snake on this thread.
5.Oakley, (currently in quarantine) before the incident 40 breeder, coconut bark, hide, water dish, and some foliage. 95 hot, 65 cold. I have an accurite thermometer for each cage measuring hot w/probe on bottom glass. 100% humidity.
Hissy 10 gallon, coconut bark, small hide, water dish, log hide, foliage. 95 hot 70 cold. 100% humidity.
6. I have always fed f/t and I dangled the mouse in front of them for about 5 minutes with no reaction at all.
7. I feed them about 7 days apart
8. I feed them medium f/t mice, resort back to 6.
9. I handle Oakley almost every day but mainly because of placing neosporin on his injury. Hissy once every few days.
10. Oakley must have been this past Saturday or Sunday and it was a full shed, Hissy has been about 3 or 4 weeks and hers was complete, too.

I am going to try the tubs idea to get them to eat and maybe have them as their permanent homes depending on how it turns out. I guess I'm slightly stubborn because I really enjoy the look of the glass aquariums. I'm assuming I would need to build a small rack system to house both of them on it at once.

drop your humidity down to 50-60% temps 92 and 80-83 ball up a bunch of news paper and throw it in your big tank to take up alot of that extra space for now. (i got a big tank too i just keep it filled) dont touch your balls for a week then get a live weanling mouse and throw it in the tank and leave them alone. just cause your bp didnt eat a mouse after 5 min dont mean anything my one used to make me hold that thing for 15-20 min like it was some sort of game, she likes to stalk her prey (she eats live now) im missing something but someone will catch it

oh and stop force feeding they can go sometime with out eating my one girl hasnt ate since oct
