well dremora FINALLY ate today. its been 2 months but i have gotten the tank regulated now for the last 4 days so i think that was the problem, i bought a smaller than usual hopper and i put it in his tank and covered it with a towel to make it dark and damn if he didnt get it and eat it! it took him about 15 -20 min to finally get it but he did and i am happy now that he ate a snack! we will feed him again on tuesday evening another but a little larger hopper and cover the tank again til he feeds. also as you noticed i said he not she...we that is because this novice herper finally seen his spurs on the outside of the vent near the tip of the tail and the book said males have 2 spurs one on each side! so that was a cool experience for me to know that i sexed my snake by myself correctly. besides someone else commented on his pic last time i posted it and said i had a bouncing baby boy and i didnt know how they knew if i didnt. now i know....lol. i am really really happy now that dremora ate something, maybe now he will start eating more regularly now and get back on track. we are gonna buy a new undertank heater and a thermostat this weekend too so then we will be doign ok i hope! thanks for all the advice!:freakedout::freakedout::freakedout:
