He's been looking for a girl for about a month now, so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it. He had been refusing (or so I thought) because he wouldn't touch any of the jumbo mice I had offered him. He would eat some stray pinkies I had around for my hognose. But last time the pet store had small mice, and he ate 2 of them without problem. He is still cruising the tank looking for a girl, but I can tell he is slowing down his searches.

I'm sure his temps are fine. I'm in north Florida and we keep the AC set to 78 most of the day, plus he has a heating pad in the corner, just in case he needs something warmer. If anything, the tank is on the warm side. One day we set the AC to 81 and found him soaking in his bowl. After we dropped it back down to 78, he went back to his hide, so if anything, too warm is somewhere between 78 and 81, which means we're keeping him on the warm end of the spectrum.
