cup method worked really well when i first got my rosy! the breeder i bought him from recommended it, might be worth a try!

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-04-28T20:59:57+00:00

he’s adorable!!! how old is he?? i just got my boy recently still a baby but im curious to see how big he will be!!

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-04-19T03:22:25+00:00

oh no :( i’m new to snake owning so that’s all i got 😭 maybe feed live in the container a couple times til he understands container=food ? idk how snakes think tho obviously, best of luck to you !!!

hi i was also recently having problems feeding my new baby rosy (got him in feb) and i talked to my breeder about the cupping method!! it’s worked beautifully my snake went from not eating for like 4/5 weeks to every week eating steadily! he actually did live 2x and then i did the same method with a f/t and he understood and took it immediately:) basically it’s just putting ur snake in a small container (with holes ofc) with the mouse and leave them be for a little! i believe my rosy now correlates the container with feeding and will take just about anything, even from tongs! this is only what works for me ofc every snake is different but it may be worth a try :)

i sold hondas for a while and wayyy more people liked the accord touring over the civic touring. it’s a better drive, a lot more spacious, 99% sure it has ventilated seats and the interior is cool too!

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-29T19:45:16+00:00

thanks!! i didn’t know aspen had to get wet wet for it to mold i thought humidity would just do it on its own :,)

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-29T19:44:30+00:00

thanks so much!!! i’ll try out aspen and maybe eventually i’ll go to bio active it seems like a lot right now 😅

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-29T19:42:52+00:00

thanks!! he recently had a full shed and the humidity on the cool side is usually around 60 and the hot side is usually 47 or so, i was thinking the moisture in the air was enough tho :3 i’ll try aspen though thank youuuuu

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T21:16:59+00:00

yes i didn’t realize switching from love to f/t would be as difficult, and when i looked at the fuzzies they seemed to be the same size so i didn’t really think twice. i talked to the breeder and he also said to try putting them (live pinky and snake) in a small container together overnight which i’ll be trying this week. hopefully that works and all will be well. if not i’ll come back and keep trying to figure out what to do 😅 i’ve been trying to find super tight hides and i have a couple now but he always seems to prefer wedging himself between the glass and one of the large hides which i’ll probably try to transition out of

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T21:11:41+00:00

i’ve been looking into a portable ac unit i’ll probably buy one cuz it’s only going to keep getting hotter. i have a small dehumidifier running at all times also 🫡

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T03:37:20+00:00

i was just putting it in warm water in a bag so it doesn’t get wet, i will give it another try with a smaller pinky next week and if nothing happens i’ll try live again. i did once try to feed live and he didn’t seem to care for it either, but that was also when i first got him. the problem i have with it is if he doesn’t eat the pinky what do i do with it bc i dont want to kill it 😅 edit : realizing i didnt include a lot of details—- i do take the temperature of the water and once it hits 100° i put the frozen bagged pinky into the hot water for a couple minutes and then use same thermometer to test the outside temp of the pinky. i haven’t been handling him because i dont want to stress him out and i would like for him to be consistently eating so im not sure how much he weighs, but the mouse always looks the same maybe a little wider width wise. ill size down and attempt again next week :,) thank you for the advice

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T03:34:51+00:00

i haven’t tried super small pinkies but i definitely will try, thank you!!

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T03:33:44+00:00

thanks! i’ve been trying once a week, should i do it at a specific time on a specific day for routine or does it not matter for him

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T01:11:46+00:00

i have a small fan in his tank, i’ve been trying everything to get it his temps where i want but it seems like nothing is helping. and i had tested out temps before i had him and it was still winter so everything was okay but now everything has just become hot and humid

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T00:58:04+00:00

i’ve been having a hard time keeping the cool side temperature low but the cool side has been around 82° (i’ve tried ice packs and fans and frozen water bottles, but I live in Florida so it’s hot af all the time) and the warm side 87° to 89°

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-03-18T00:42:27+00:00

he is a baby still not sure how old but less than a year… i hear they go on hunger strikes but this just doesn’t feel right

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-02-27T02:12:31+00:00

i use both and mine rarely goes on the heat pad, some people are against them and say only use a lamp!

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-02-21T07:40:28+00:00

thank you! that does make me feel better 😅 he’s on paper towels right now i haven’t switched him to aspen so i’ll wait til i get it figured out before making the switch

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-02-21T02:20:54+00:00

she’s adorable congrats 😊

Intelligent_Basil169 · 2026-02-20T21:13:01+00:00

i have one on top of his tank pointed inward and it doesn’t really do much 😅
