I picked up an 04 cb last year. Its a really neat little snake and I've wanted one ever since I can remember.



Problem is, the thing wont stay hydrated. It wont touch its water. Anyone else have this problem? I am constantly having to soak it and manually shed it. It eats ok, but its not really a pig like a king or other ratsnakes. I make sure the pinks are soaking wet just so it gets more fluids.



If anyone has tips I'd appreciate it.



I keep it at basically room temp with an under the tank heater way off on one side. Substrate is carefresh. Its in a tank with a screen lid as opposed to a shoe or sweater box.
