Re: Some beginners questions for a Red-Tail Boa

I should probably explain that I think I tried to feed him wrong.. I see these people on YouTube do it differently and spend time doing it... All I did was dangle it in front of him for about a minute then give up.. I'm starting to think I should tried longer. It's been 5 days since I got him. I only handled him once and he never tried to strike and was curious, but wasn't constricting or anything, just really sweet and friendly. And whevever I put him back in his cage, he actually explored for a bit until he went back into his hide. The only thing I'm worried about is that he's staying in his hide for the entire time. I'm pretty sure he hasn't come out, cause I don't see any trails in the tank. He's only gone out the night I got him cause he was shedding (which also might be why he didn't eat).. Idk I'm just concerned for my snake (I have bad anxiety on everything so ugh). But yeah, just scared of a hunger strike. Update on the cage btw, I got another lamp and the cold side is about 80 and at night it's 75, so I fixed the problem. As for humidity, I spray the cage twice a day and never goes below 60. I'm getting there . But seriously thanks to all of you, I love these responses so much! And I'm gonna try to feed him on the 1st and see where it goes. As for handling, I've decided to wait till Sunday or Monday to do so. Again thanks guys, I'm still new to this!
