I dont think i am going to run out and by a 20 gallon yet, it seems to much money for and a quick decesion. He was fine in the 5 gallon for 2 weeks after i got him, and ate on scedule. Since I moved back to my dorm, he hasnt ate, so I brumated him for a month in a half. The only feeding responce I got, is when I tried a clawed frog, which hopped out of his water bowl and into the substrate. He raced towards it. However, I got scared, since it was covered in substrate and took it out. Now, he hasnt been interested in any food.
When I go home for spring break, I may be able to obtain some wild toads, from relatively rural areas. Is it advisable to use these guys for prey items, or just scenting?
In addition, the way the petstore (which i worked at) were keeping our snakes, we had the heat mat and lights on for 8 hours a day, and turned them off at night. However, the ambient night temp was probaly above 75 F. Do you think I should try this?
