hey thanks for your help. i actually thought that it was possible that the substrate wasnt transferring enough heat, so i replaced it with paper towels. the warm side of the tank is quite warm to the touch and is certainly well above room temps.



ive had trouble finding live pinkies at local pet stores but i found one today that will have them for me on wednesday. is wednesday too soon to try again? at that point it will be 2 days shy of a month he has gone without eating and 4 days since my last attempt.



also, with the live pinkies, would i be better off putting it outside his hide? or in a deli cup? i thought maybe i would put the snake in the deli cup for an hour or two to let him get comfortable, and then sneakily drop the live pinkie in there with him. i got a solid lid, and covered the cup in black electrical tape to block out the light. here are some pics. let me know what you think.
