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.

Try bringing the temps up, but balls go off feed in the cooler weather.

I agree with increasing the temperature. Tis the season in the great NE - temps are dropping. Many snakes (not just balls) will go off feed if the temperatures cool off. try to get the warm side up to about 85. The other thing is - Why would you be feeding a yearling bp fuzzies? my 05s are feeding on adult mice.

the reason for the fuzzies was to intice with something live that i didn't have to pre-kill and run the risk of him getting harmed during the feeding process. now i a have an under the tank heater at the moment. should i add a ceramic heat lamp as well to increase the temp? what's best? also i just checked on him since i had to take care of the baby and he did it. but i still would like to do what's possible to make a better environment than what he had before. thank you for your input.

To really discuss heating options, I would need to know what he is housed in (cage material and dimensions), substrate, ventilation, room temperatures, etc. If you have that heat gradient with your UTH, even a small CHE would likely be overkill. Let us know what you are working with, and we will try to help

well it seems whatever slump in appetite goldy was going through is now long gone. he is eating like a champ and has taken 2 f/t mice this week on top of the 3 fuzzies i offered before when he wasn't interested. i also redid his environment some and that seemed to spark his curiousty in his surroundings. ufortunately he seems to think that my 15 month old is something to stalk now whenever she looks at him in the tank so now we are definitely being careful when he's out and she's around because she is so curious about him. don't worry the two are never alone. goldy is handled when she's taking a nap or two people are in the room, one for goldy and one for her. i would never allow that now or ever! she's supervised with all the zoo because i know 15 months can be a rough age for all invovled . on top of that now i got some betta babies to start looking after.
