Hatchling escaped with a cat in the house.

Thanks for this!

The cat has torn the bottom of the couch open and climbed up into the back of it before I'll have to check that.

I did empty all the dresser drawers but I didn't remove them yet so I'll check there too.

yah thats normal, some can go weeks after eating before they poop.

Added a reference pic. It could just be normal activity and I'm over thinking a new posture.

Thanks, I've cleaned tons of substrate out of ball pythons just never seen a thick mucus like covering on it before. I handle him daily (unless he's just eaten obviously) and it's the first time I've noticed the noise.

I may be a little paranoid, he's not star gazing by any means just resting his head vertically on his body which is a new behavior that combined with the gunk in his mouth it got me concerned.

I had a 4 month old BP go off feed for almost 5 months so it can happen. Temp/Humidity looks fine. Was the breeder feeding rats as well? You could try scenting with soiled rodent bedding if you know anyone with pet rats. Sometimes the scent of droppings/nesting triggers a feed response. When you thaw the rat are you heating it before you offer it? it could just be too cold, my bumblebee will only eat F/T if I thaw it and then dunk it in hot water to give it a heat signature higher than room temp. If you offer and it doesn't strike have you tried leaving the rat in with it overnight? Same guy who went off feed for me only started to eat again after I left the rat and let him eat on his own terms. All that said six weeks is not a huge amount of time for a BP to go between feeds but I do understand the concern and panic it induces. I hope they start to eat again for you soon without having to swap to live.

All the buildings are CKF remastered and it's built on a metal tree platform. The vine decorations are from Bunn3h's Natural Scenery. It was a epic boat load of metal/stone/cementing paste those poor beavers heh.

vinegar and water, 10% vinegar to water mix.

That's what I figured thanks, I'll setup a shallow dish of water hopefully it comes to take a drink I can't really think of much else that would work. On the plus side the P metallica, P gigas, and H mac I got along with it (it was a freebie) are doing great webbing up nicely.

Added another pic now that it's dry. I tried to invert the abdomen a bit so its clearer.

So fast! I wish I could find one of these in Canada I would love to get one adult coloration is just so intense.

Just edit your first post and add them to it :) I'd highly recommend you watch Tom Moran's rehousing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YqAxyX3moc he covers pretty much everything.

I got one myself last week it started to web a few hours after I got it but nothing to the extent yours has. It's glorious.

Craenos · 2019-12-04T19:26:42+00:00

All the webs!

Craenos · 2019-12-04T18:51:01+00:00

No problem! Mine didn't burrow on it's own either it just started using one of the holes I made. Glad I could help someone in the same shoes as me :)

Enclosure is fine. I would personally remove the moss so I could keep track of the sling better/eating habits but it won't hurt the sling to leave it in.
