I tried the smaller container but with no results, it was just big enough for him and the mouse and he didnt seem interested. I think I'm going to have to wait this one out cause doesn't seem hungry I guess. I keep his tank at 90 and 80ish on the cool side. Humidity is about 40 to 60 depending on how much I spray. If this isn't right please correct cause he likes the hot side more. Hes not my first snake its just I've never had this problem before. I also have a blood python and hogg island boa. I had a ball python but unforunatly she escaped and when I found her it was too late. I appreciate the help and will post when he finally gives in.
