Advice for my new snake!
Hi,
I just bought the cutest Irian Jaya Carpet crossed with a junglexjag. I will post some photos of him soon so everyone can see. However, more pressingly I have a few questions and would really appreciate some information if anyone out there has the time!
1) I have had him home for about 2 1/2 weeks now and he still hasn't eaten despite four feeding attempts. I was expecting this as he is quite stressed from the move I can imagine. At least he has started to strike at the rat pup then hold onto it for a second before dropping it! Just wondered if anyone had any tips or tricks or advice on getting him eating. And if he shows no signs of feeding when should I take him to the vet! (am I overeacting ^_^)
2) I have a thermostst on the lamp for heating. I have it set to about 28 degrees during the day and 22 degrees C at night. When I initially turn it down to 22 degrees C the lamp clicks off, but when I wake up in the morning it's always come back on again - even though it's only on low. I'm just worried that he's not getting enough perpetual darkness - what's everyone else's views on this?
Thanks for your time,
Caz
