Brad's right, but i will say this, if your trying to cool an animal, those temps won't work for a cool end. 68 and 70 is too high, the snake continues to use its' stores and will deplete them. I'd try a split brain next, in a small, dark container, but honestly, I reckon splendida to others keeping brooksi, I haven't met the splendida that refused to eat, eventually. I think you are rushing the trying to feed scenario, you need to leave the little one alone for a few days to acclimate to your new temps, then try to feed. While they are not thayeri or holbrooki (per say) they are very similar. I just fed a few holdouts yesterday and they were voracious! I never give up, but some snakes just don't make it through our "processes". I'm not trying to be a doomsayer, just giving you a possible heads up. I'd certainly go for a split brained next, followed by a tease feeding tecnique. email me and we'll talk some more, I wanna see you through this.
