Meet Kapone....
First of all this is my first snake. I've had my BP for 4 days now. He's 11 months old(at least that's what I was told by the guy at the pet store). I named him "Kapone" today(after the notorious Al Capone) because he just seems so fearless and he also has what looks to be a small "war wound" on his back. He almost never goes in his hide boxes he would much rather stay up on his "PVC Hangout" and he never tries to hide when I reach for him. I put a freshly killed mouse in the tank the day after introducing him to his new home and he swallowed it up instantly. I have a 55 gal. aquarium which is at about 82-88 degrees/58% humidity(91 degrees under the light). One hide box has an undertank heater which keeps the box at mid to high 80's and the other box stays in the low 80's. I use black astroturf as substrate. Well here's a pic of Kapone on his "PVC Hangout"

1. Use undertank heat, not an overhead light.
2. Humidity: 60%
3. Mice SUCK. Get him on rats ASAP.
4. Leave him alone for a week. Don't touch him, play with him, nothing. Let him acclimate to his new surroundings, if he gets stressed and refuses food, you'll have many more problems.
BTW, very nice looking ball.

how are you measuring temps? If you are using those stick on ones or those round dials, they both suck. lol
Get a digital thermometer, uth, and lamp dimmer (or rheostat).
Very nice looking ball you got there.

Thanks Sapphire....No, I have 2 digital thermometers(both with probes) I leave the thermometers at opposite ends of the tank and the probes under each hide box.
