the hummidity is perfect!!! untill its shed time

once his eyes cloud over raise the hummidity to about 65-70

you can do this by misting his cage or by putting the water dish over his heating pad and over head light that will help evaporate the water into the air. or you could soak him in luke warm water for about 10 mins everyday about 3-4 days before he is going to shed.



If the snake is 2 years old it should be eating alot more than just one mouse per week! my subadults eat a medium rat every week!

if you continue to feed it mice feed it 2-3 every week. i would strongly reccommend you spend the money and get it rats. you can get them alot cheaper if you order in bulk off the internet.



If you just put him in a new cage. try just leaving him alone for a week and make sure he has at least 3 hidspots. one in hot end of tank one in middle of tank and one on the cool side. so it can thermoregulate while hidden.

Bp's tend not to feed if they're stressed and moving cages can be stressfull and not having enough hidespots can be stressfull also.



One last reason could be that it just doesn't want to eat

Bps tend to go off feeding around this time of year if thats the case then he'll be fine some BPs go months without eating and it has no negitive effect on their health



well hope this all helps sorry about the lenght!
