ive checked hot area with a infared gun now and the surface temp of the hot area is 89.8 how do heat this up to ur specified heat i currently have a heat mat with about 1 cm of wood chips on top.

89*F is good for the hot side. make sure the coldside is no lower then 80*F surface temp. and ambient air temp in the enclosurei s 80*F.

can you snap a photo of the setup? if she feels unsafe in it she wouldnt refuse food as well.

the starter kits most shops sell have allot un-recommended stuff in them like those half log hides that are the bane of our existence here on BP.net

What type of mouse babies? Pinkies? Fuzzys? Hoppers?

Baby ball pythons generally can eat small adult mice right out of the egg. Try a small adult mouse ( Something that moves, with fur) and i bet your snake will eat.

Not all ball pythons take frozen thawed prey right off the bat, and pinkies are far too small of a meal.
