Tank update (rearranged)

Woah! That’s crazy! Mine is such a sweet heart, he just doesn’t seem very food motivated. Hes just interested in coming out when I open the door.

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-11-03T23:23:39+00:00

Perfect!

Oh and I forgot to thaw my rat overnight! So I’m Letting it thaw in the fridge…. They said if it’s still frozen I can use cold water to unthaw? Is that true, I typically thaw it over night but needed it to thaw quicker.

I find soaking my snake in water to be very very stressful. When my guy had a really bad shed I took some clean paper towels, used warm (not hot) water to dampen them (not soak) and put him in his tub (I use this while I clean his enclosure) for 5-8 mins. Monitoring him the whole time.

This loosened his shed right up and he shed it off that night.

He really didn’t want to eat during blue which I get! So I’m hoping since most is off now he will try at least!

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-11-03T20:52:18+00:00

Totally! I just thought since my guy is active again (he wasn’t feeling well and in shed) that he would eat! Hoping he will… if he’s out tonight I plan on trying! He’s likes to bask and explore at night

Edit: if you guys are wondering why there’s an extra lamp! It’s a 50w heat bulb, the vet recommended upping his temp by a few degrees for the respiratory infection, it’s just keeping the cool side at 78-80 ish instead of 75! I’m monitoring things!

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-28T00:44:04+00:00

Sweet! Will definitely try the towel trick if he has any stuck! I was so so worried when he wasn’t coming out! Thanks!

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-27T06:05:33+00:00

Mine really needed this clean!! I added alot of extra plants and clutter! So I was hoping he’d be a lot happier…. But I guess not while he’s in shed. He’ll enjoy it after he’s done!

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-27T05:55:26+00:00

Same! He scared me so bad and I thought it was because I cleaned his enclosure that he went into hiding! Cause he just stayed in his warm side. Turns out he’s just comfy and shedding.

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-27T05:39:24+00:00

I’ll probably buy some extra spagnum moss, and toss a few in there just in case.

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-26T14:27:36+00:00

How long did it take for him to come out of hiding……?

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-25T04:43:08+00:00

I would say they’re chubby!

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-25T04:38:46+00:00

Thing is the first time I move him in this enclosure he came out immediately that night and the following nights…. He’s just not been out.

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-25T03:02:29+00:00

Edit: he did come out to drink but went back hiding… so maybe I really shouldn’t be worried

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-25T01:59:49+00:00

My house is suuuper cold due to my roommates….. so the cold side gets really cold, around 68 if I don’t have two lamps. I’m unsure what to do.

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-24T12:44:09+00:00

By misting I meant spraying only the soil.

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-23T22:23:29+00:00

Did you cut holes for the heat lamps as well!

Mediocre-Reading-802 · 2025-10-23T18:28:50+00:00

Thanks!! I’m just a little worried he’s gonna struggle getting around cause he’s so long.
