Hi, I just purchased my first gaboon viper and have had it about 3 weeks now, he is roughly 12 inches long, I keep him in a 20 gallon terrarium with douglas fir bark substrate, temperature hovers around 75 and humidity levels are at 60%, an undertank heating pad keeps one end of the enclosure at 84-88 degrees. The second day I had him I offered a fuzzy to no avail, I left it in there for 3 days and finally removed it. The second and third week I practiced the same procedure but with the same results, although the second week he proceeded to regurgitate his previous meal, he drinks regularly when I place him next to his water bowl. I have kept rattlesnakes and copperheads for many years now and have never experienced this problem, and now I am concerned that I might lose my first snake ever. Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks
