I appreciate all of your help. The snake is only a baby he's not very big. He eats about every 4 or 5 days and he likes to eat live mice. I also feed him in another container not in his cage. He does very well this way. He never has a problem eating. He last ate about 5 days ago. Right before his eyes went cloudy. I am using a 60 watt red bulb and the heating pad on the same side of a glass 20 gallon tank with a mesh top. I have his water dish on the cool side and I have a 1/2 log hiding places on both sides of the tank and then I have a vine in the middle for him to wrap onto. This is new. I will take your advice and get the digital thermometer. Where do you place it in the tank?
Also, I have been using astro turf for about 1 1/2 months and he seems to do very well with that. I think that there is a thick enough piece of astro turf between the heating pad and the snake so that it won't burn him. Also I purchased today a spray that is supposed to help with the shedding. I sprayed that on him this afternoon. How much do you spray on the snake? Also, it states on the bottle to spray inside the tank and this will help with the humidity is this true? I will put him in the towel and pillowcase tonight and place him in the cage. Hopefully, this will help him to remove the caps.
