Actually, I would think you could use a wider choice of temps. I know that's hard to do most of the time, but it would probably help. At this time my Herp Room temps are 68-78*F, depending on time of day, and I sometimes use extra heat. I don't have blue beauties, but do have Chinese beauties, and they are feeding at these temps after a fairly long brumation. I don't think your temps are that far off, but the fasting could have to do with other maintenance problems. Do you know how the previous owner kept the snake? If temps were really high, the snake may be taking a metabolic rest at this time. It might need time to adjust.



Good luck...TC
