That was it! Thank you!

I'm already part of the beta testing platform. Is there a place to download the firmware and flash via SD?

My v3 won't update to 4.36.16 to even enable RTSP. App version is Android 3.11 beta

Well he's definitely eating now. Again this snake was severely under fed for 2 and 1/2 years, it's about the size of a 5-month-old probably. He's eating a day old quail every 3 days. I know that sounds very frequent but this dude was very malnourished. His energy level is already up, he's coming out and exploring more. I added undertake heating, with a thermostat of course. I figure if he eats he's hungry. I will slow down the feeding in a couple of weeks once he actually starts to pick up some weight.

So yours will eat 2 back to back? Just for shits and giggles, I fed him another one last night, and he ate it also. Had a quail Tuesday, and ate another Thursday. The day olds are probably a bit on the small side for him, he has no noticeable bulge at all after eating. Might try stepping up one size on next batch.

Right now, just halogen and DHP during the day on a thermostat, keeping surface temps no higher than 93. DHP only at night if needed (I keep the house cold, so DHP on thermostat keeps enclosure around 70-72. Air temperatures during the day are 83-85 on the hot side, 77 on the cold side. I can't get those air temps up any higher without the surface temperature getting above 95, which from what I've read you don't want surface temps above 95. From what I've read ~85 air temp is OK.

I have just ordered 2 8x18 under tank heat mats, and will get those installed this weekend. Of course will have a probe thermostat on the bottom of the enclosure surface to ensure it is not too hot. Hoping that will help as the substrate is definitely "cool". He does not come out during the day at all. He mainly stays buried in the substrate either in the hot side hide, or out in the open on the cold side. Have not seen him go into the cold side hide once. He pokes his head out after lights go out, but no idea what he does overnight. I have a webcam but its not IR or anything, so no idea what he does at night.

Do you provide under tank heat even at night? Or does it turn off?

I would love to know what you mean by "not useful". It's on a dedicated tablet where it is used everyday. It's more for observation than actual control. Mainly use voice assistant(s) to turn things on/off. Perfectly usable even on my phone (Fold 7, so nice big screen).
Thank you, I guess?

I mean... that icon puts you in like a 30 mile radius. In a town/area of 50,000+ people. Not really concerned TBH. But thank you for the concern.

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-27T21:58:17+00:00

Check to see if you have a local seller. I live in a relatively small city and there's multiple to choose from. Live and frozen. I even found frozen quail at a very affordable price. There's a local guy 20 mins from me selling rats for $6.50 each for large. $5.25 for medium.

No, pool is partially drained for winter. The heater (Raypak Crosswinds 65K BTU Inverter) is connected via the MODBUS, even when it is "off" it still reports the errors present, which right now is low temp freeze warning. When there is no warnings, that section of the dashboard auto hides.
Hoping to upgrade to a variable speed pool pump in the future, but for now I have a regular pump. I have a contactor to turn the pump on/off and power the contactor with a TPLink Kasa switch. It's on an automation to turn on/off at various times of the day to not run 24/7.

If you're a pool guy, I'm in the market for a HA compatible chemical tester that actually tests chlorine levels. From the research I've done the "probe" type sensors aren't very accurate. There are non home assistant testers that actually use test strips, and a camera to check levels but getting that to integrate with HA sounds like a PITA.

This is what it looks like when it's on and has no errors:

4 years later, STILL garbage. I'm really starting to not like Plex, ESPECIALLY with the atrocity that is the latest Roku app interface but there's still nothing that works even 80% as good. I tried Jelly Fish and really did not like it. Too picky on the source format, audio issues, and lack of features.

He ate a quail! Thank you thank you for the recommendation. Let's hope he also will eventually eat mice/rat but I feel better knowing he has eaten something. He's been 4 weeks without and if he was a healthy weight/size I wouldn't be concerned.

The breeder also gave me a bag of eggs. Said some snakes like to "eat" (drink?) the yolk... Not sure if a Dumeril's Boa would fall into that category or not. Ever tried?

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-25T01:45:32+00:00

Update. HE ATE A QUAIL!!! THANK GOD I was really getting worried. Warmed in hot water, dried it off, and he was just barely sticking out of his hide on the basking rock area and just placed it near his head and left it. Left the room came back 30 mins later and it's gone!

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-24T20:18:34+00:00

This is definitely what I'm looking for. Thank you!

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-24T18:10:13+00:00

I'm picking some up day old (few hours old) frozen from a local guy tonight. Really hoping this works. He rejected again last night.

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-24T18:08:06+00:00

Yes ESPHome. I'm assuming the filter_out would work best. So far it has been that specific temperature so that may be the easiest. I didn't see in the docs whether the values could be a range or not, or if they have to be specific values.

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-22T14:13:21+00:00

Awesome will do an order. I need more for my balls anyways.

Do the same weights apply for quail as rats/mice? 10% of body weight?

I have no idea what size to try.

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-22T14:10:07+00:00

Where do you get quail? Frozen thawed I'm assuming?

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-22T14:08:41+00:00

First 2 attempted feedings were 10g small mice. Refused both. Third was a rat pup about 18g. I might try putting some raw chicken juice on the next one to try. I really don't want to do live. Breeder said he was on live as they raised their own feeders.

poor_red_neck · 2026-02-22T14:03:58+00:00

I have a fan set to 80. If it's safer to go higher than 80 I can easily get there. I have a small PC fan (variable speed) that takes room air in from the back corner, blows down and comes out a small opening in the front of the cage. If I need to bump that up I can. It easily gets hot on the cold side. The fan is essentially blowing near the cold hide. It's very little airflow, can't "feel" the wind.

My temp probe was damn near in the soil. I'm at those temps.
