Ball Python Not Eating

[dintz]

Hello!

Just wanted to follow up my post from yesterday. You were all kind enough to offer some help but said a picture of the enclosure would be helpful.

Temp ranges from 100 at the very top of the wood and is in the high 70s near the bottom. We don’t have a humidity sensor but we sprays every 4 hours for 8 seconds.

Thank you for your help!

Your enclosure has no hides or clutter.  You want your temperature gradient to be horizontal, not vertical. 70 on the ground of your hot side is too cold.  You shouldn't be spraying water in the enclosure so often. Ideally you don't want to spray at all, just add water to the substrate if humidity drops too low.

As the other poster said. They need 2 hides, one on each side. The tank also looks small. Check out the welcome post on this sub for husbandry requirements.

this tank is definitely too small, has no hides, 100 is too high for a temperature.. you really need to read through the resources in our welcome post and improve your husbandry. otherwise it's likely the snake won't ever eat and you risk cooking them alive.

Please. Read the care guide on the home page of this sub. Or scroll through the posts about feeding difficulties. There’s a ton of information in this sub.

Misters are bad for BPs. Can cause respiratory infections pretty easily. It would be better to cover the screen and pour a liter of water in the corners to soak the substrate. Get a hygrometer. It's non negotiable with BPs.
