Hello all...

Im not new to obsoleta specie at all. And I have never really ever had one that would not eat. I just aquired my first everglades, and hes around 4ft, and looks healthy.

However I have offered live,f/T, freshly pre killed, mice and small rats to no avail. He acts interested, but 2 out of the 4 unsuccesful times he appears to regurge a clear fluid, i assume water at it usually sticks around his mouth, he then redrinks the liquid and just whatched the rodent, then re-bury hiself in the aspen. He is an 40 gallon tank with hides. I do not have any under tank heat on him as of yet. My herp room is around 70-75degrees. I just wonder if heat could be a factor? I have some more flex-watt ordered just havent got it yet.

Any thoughts from the experienced???
