I wouldn't worry too much about all the set up in regards to different hides and such. I would get the pink(s) on Wednesday and then wait until late to feed it. Be sure the temps are under control and maybe place one hide over the heat pad and one over the ambient end. If you can get 2 pinks, then place one inside each hide and do this as you turn out the lights. Some snakes are crepsurcular (sp?) and want to find the prey at night. You need to resist chcecking in on him, because if you are like me, you will turn the light on right as he is getting ready to eat and ruin the whole thing.

At any rate, try that, but I really do feel that you need to regulate the temps and if you get the mx min therm. and check the temps, you will realize major drops at night. Corns typically eat even if it takes a while, but they typically do eat eventually. Ohh, one other trick is to cover the cage with a towel so it is pitch dark. Hopefully this hodgepodge of suggestions will work. Good luck and le me know what results you get when you check on him on Thursday morning.
