Well... I separated the two of them, and cooled their temperatures down to more what you suggested. So far neither of them have taken the bait, although the one did actually strike for the first time EVER.

I'm going to give them another week, try again... hopefully somebody eats something, for chrissake.

I'll figure you meant that you increased their night time temperatures a bit, lol, since I didn't suggest cooling them.
hmmmmm - I might have to think on this one a little bit - I've always kept my babies in a temp controlled room. Will try to remember the specific conditions we used in the shop, since that is more applicable to your situation.

I had a really hard time getting my dumeril females to start eating. They shed after about two weeks and then wouldn't eat for almost a month. I never assist feed unless they are losing form and/or start looking skinny. I got my Dumerils to eat by buying a house gecko and scenting pinky live rats. They nailed it quickly and were on the way to being established eaters in no time. I also keep my dumerils at 89 hot and no cooler than 80 on the other side. Good luck!
