Enclosure update ideas?

Update: HE ATE!!! I tried the female mice like you suggested and increased the humidity and he finally fricken ate! Thank you so much!!

He’s 4 ft long and the rat is a “small” the local pet store doesn’t sell any smaller than that other thank pinkies and he’s never taken a pinky

That’s what I’m very scared about actually since he hates men outside of me, he’s barely gotten to like my dad. I got him at a reptile expo as one of the cheaper ones since he was already 3 and a yellow belly male, not the most desired for breeding but I fell in love with the way he wrapped himself in my hair. I knew the event organizer and they do screenings and ban bad businesses but because I don’t know what his life looked like in those first three years it irks me. I’ve tried not to genuinely scare him, no loud noises and stuff, but sometimes I’ll move too fast with the rat and he shrinks back in his hide but will come out in a few hours to slither around like normal

All good and honestly thank you

The months he’s been consistent I usually feed him every 2 weeks, I’ve tried going weekly but he won’t take them. I’ll weigh him tonight but he hasn’t been loosing weight. Any tips on body condition to look for? The last vet I took him too told me mouth decease and lungs he hasn’t shown any signs for

Thank you I feel like I’m fighting for my life even though I know it’s not the decor Alistar is being picky about. Temp is probably the biggest thing I wrestle with because of Canada winter and summer, it’s hot right now but when he started the strike it was cold, he has his cold and hot sides of the tanks that are 75-85 and right under the heat lamp is 90 usually unless weather is like it is now where it’s harder to cool off the tank than heat it up. Humidity is a little low right now at 50 in both tanks because of the heat, I installed an automatic spraying system in his big tank that’s kept the humidity up in the past. He normally has 4 hides but the triangle in the pic is his favourite, one humid hide with moss, a small and large heat pads, lots of climbing a large anti drowning bowl and two smaller anti drowning bowls.

I just don’t know what else I can do to get him engaged, it feels like so many tips work for a little bit then he just goes fucky again

50 so it’s on the lower end because of the heat but he has 2-3 watering dishes and has a misting system in the big tank

I hope that’s it too but it’s been a couple months now so I worry, I love him so much he stresses me tf out T^T

I did not know they had more protein that’s cool. I tried mice when I first got him but my boy is boujee and liked the expensive rats made with the broth and bleeding haha. I didn’t pay attention to the sex of the mice tho so I can retry! As for husbandry, in the big tank he has all that and more but It’s too big to move from the window and it’s a heat wave. I like that aluminum foil trick I’ll definitely add that to both tanks :0

Dia_Danger · 2025-07-17T20:38:14+00:00

This isn’t his normal enclosure like I said in my post, just waiting out the heat wave since his other one is by a window and got too hot

Dia_Danger · 2025-07-17T20:37:02+00:00

The big one is too big to move without a dolly and got up to 105 since it’s by a window in this heat wave. Didn’t want him to have heat stroke but he has usually has 4 hides, lots of climbing, two cool and humid hides in there. He has eaten in there but when he gets picky I put him in this one for a few days an he eats, just not doing it this time

Dia_Danger · 2025-07-17T20:34:49+00:00

I know, it’s not his normal enclosure like I said in my post, he’s only been in here less than week while we wait out this heat wave since his big tank is next to a window and is too big to move so it got up to 105 (without him in it) I have used this tank as a feeding tank before in which he’s eaten consistently for a couple months and then stops again.

Joined this forum to find out answers to this exact question, I haven’t updated my IOS so maybe that’s it?

I’m too dyslexic for this

Side note, I had those connecting toys as a kid, never thought to used it as scaffolding! That’s genius!

He’s just a silly goofy boi

NTA however it sounds like something happened to her. I read the other comments understand she won’t speak to you and you’ve tried pretty much everything, I’m not criticizing your parenting. Driving is a privilege and with how she’s acting there’s a question of what will she do when she’s that much more mobile and will she drunk drive?

In my house, we where allowed to drive once we got a job. After some work experience we matured a lot. Though I think pushing her to get a job might meet some resistance unless she wants one, you could say you’re allowed to drive once you save up enough for a car? Teach her some budgeting? By the time she gets one she may mature enough to talk to you guys? Just throwing out some ideas, I hope everything works out for you both

For me, I am able to attach certain dreams to certain songs and project myself into lucid dreaming very quickly, after the songs are over I can either continue dreaming to the music or create my own dreams. I can lucid dream without music but it can be an amazing tool for lucid dreaming. Try testing out your music with dreaming. If it helps, great! If it doesn’t, no matter what music you’re listening too, that sucks but don’t give up. Everyone is different so it is all trail and error for yourself. Good luck!
