Re: Baby feeding questions
Here's his tank, I have a 25w "moonlight" bulb. It's 81 in the cool end and 92 on the branch where he is sitting, I don't have the thermometer on it constantly, because the probes in it are kind of big. I used a digital dual probe smoker thermometer to get the temps right. I tested it and found it to be consistent with my other reptile specific thermometers. I also borrowed the hygrometer probe from chameleons cage and it read 46-47%.

Re: Baby feeding questions
Your snake is probably feeling vulnerable/stressed out from the clear sides of the enclosure. If your snake wants to be warm but feel secure at the same time, it has no where to go.
Try covering them like this. You can use paper but what I use is some adhesive chalkboard paper. It's like a big sticker you can cut to size and stick on the sides.

Nice perches btw.

Good idea, especially considering it was probably raised in a rack.

Re: Baby feeding questions
since he probably wont eat anytime soon, do you think he will eat the mouse later if I freeze it, or should I just feed it to someone else.

I am not sure on that. Maybe someone else can answer this. I don't know how good it would be to thaw something out and freeze it again for later.

Re: Baby feeding questions
I would cover all the sides but the front, although what you did is better than nothing. It will make him feel like that spot is more secure, since it's more covered than the rest of the enclosure.

I'm only speaking from personal experience, i've never tried covering just a section of an enclosure so what you are doing might just be fine, i just can't validate it.
keep doing what you do and see if it eats in a week.
