Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I'm measuring the temp with a digital probe thermometer. I placed the probe on the substrate in each location. I have heat pad controlled by a ranco temp controller set to 85. I can increase the temp higher. I'll also start to mist the tank to help with humidity.

Ball pythons burrow. What's the temperature of the glass under the substrate? Depending on the thickness and media, if it's 85*F on top it might be too warm.

he ate a live hooper mouse today. Put it in the tank and covered it with a towel so it was nice and dark. Checked it 5 hours later and it was gone. Definitely makes me feel better that it got another meal in that was a larger size than its been eating.

I'll get a temp check below the substrate in a day or two. I don't want to mess around with anything inside since it just ate

He ate frozen thawed for me today. Thawed it out on counter to room temp then got it nice and warm under a heat lamp. Hammered it within 10 seconds of offering it.

Been eating frozen thawed hopper mice on a regular weekly basis. Can't find frozen rats around my location. The Hamburg, PA reptile show is next weekend so
I'll pick some up there and try switching over to scented rat meals. Wish me luck!
