Any tips from those with experience on getting a underweight Irian Jaya to start feeding? Been trying night feeds with f/t fuzzies but no interest at all. Temps and humidity are ideal.
This one little baby is making Green tree hatchlings seem like beginner snakes.

What are the temps?
How under weight is the snake?
How long have you had it?
How much traffic around the enclosure?
More info please. :)

What are the ideal temps, any pics of the setup, male or female, etc etc
Not enough info to give even a SLIGHT educated guess.

I agree, more info is needed. Do you have pics of your cage set up?
Babies respond better to live food items. Once they are eating they will easily switch to frozen/thawed. Avoid trying to feed it every day and avoid handling it or it will become even more stressed. I would give it a few days to relax and then offer a live fuzzy mouse. When offering the mouse try to disturb the IJCP as little as possible. What and how was the person whom you purchased it from feeding it and how were they housing it?
If you can get this info it would definitely help.
Good Luck!
