Sounds quite on point. The fact that this animal is a adult and pretty set in his ways it may take longer to get him to accept food on a more routine basis. Did you say the thermostat was set to 92f? Are you offering any hides inside the enclosure? Has the animal ever been bred? The other thing I would suggest is for you to consider switching or at least adding a 100% cypress mulch product to the enclosure. Take the time to read this article by Colin Weaver of East Coast Reptile Breeders. " The enigmatic ball python appetite." The day bulb is really not necessary for a ball python. They dry out the air and reduce humidity although your humidity percentages are great.

The heat pad is set on a habistat at 90f. I have 2 exo terra large clay hides one on the warm and the other on the cool side. I use coco bricks and moist bark for his substrate. After about 2 weeks the coco brick starts to dry up I'll spray the tankle 2 times a day morning and night. And after 4 to 5 weeks when the coco bricks like dry dirt I'll change and clean his viv. He gets a bath twice a month as well . Loves them. I'll give that colin a wee watch. Always interesting to learn more. I use the day bulb just to bump up heat as if I don't the cool side drops to about 69 to 73f.
