92 is really hot for a chondro, but i dont think thats what did it... Your breeder should sold you an established chondro which should have came with a hatch card noting its feeding habbits. If something was a miss you should work with the breeder.

The thing with chondros (or just snakes in general) there sort of machines that loose their memory. Working with neonates you really have to train some of them to eat. The longer you go with out them getting into that habbit of "eating is a good thing" the more difficult the battle will be.

Next time try for a few hours every other day. It sounds crazy to try to get a snake to eat for more than 10 min, but really, its the nature of some chondros and the reason why they are so damn expensive in the first place.

Lifes a big lesson, i wouldnt be to hard on yourself or discouraged from chondros. Things just happen... you sort of have to roll with the punches with reptiles... but im sure you know this .
