Re: Rosy boa baby will NOT eat
Alright let's slow down and take a look here.
1. I'm going to assume you've since changed the sand to cypress. Wise choice.
2. Is the hot spot 90 or 100? Why is the cool side so much cooler than the hot side? I would raise that up to 85 since you say it's "80ish" which means it can be in the high to mid 70s.
3. I'm going to assume you still handle this snake. It looks that way from the type of pictures you're taking. Stop that. Entirely. The snake isn't going to become some evil creature if you stop for a few weeks. Think of the alternative, you could be killing your beloved pet.
4. Stop trying so many things. Stick to one and go with it. I recommend live pinkies or live fuzzy mice. Just one. Once a week. At night. Drop it in the enclosure and leave it overnight.
5. Side note, your snake may not live in the wild but it's body still acts like it is. Snakes are made to retain humidity pretty well so your snake doesn't need to be sprayed daily just because you think it does. It's fine with access to a water dish. It will do as it pleases.
6. Your snake doesn't need soaks. Stop that. Refer to #3.
7. Double check all your gauges/instruments for checking humidity and heat. They could be faulty and giving off wrong readings.
