Hatchling SOS

I know I posted coral snow not eating. I have done everything that Don has told me. He has aspen bedding with the UT left on under his warm hide, two non warm hides. I have been monitoring the temperature inside the hide and it between 81-84 and so is Maurice. I put a small pink outside the hide entrance and I checked every other hour still no good news. If he hasn't touched it tomorrow I don't know what to do. I feel awful and that i have failed Don and failed to save Maurice as well.

I would wait a couple days, then put him in a deli cup, with a boiled pink, with the head slit, boiling hot, close the deli, put it back in his viv, in the middle, not on the heat, drop something over it so he can't see out, then do not check until morning. The reason you are putting the deli in the viv is to double-protect against escape.

I would try Nanci's suggestion of a lightly boiled in a deli first. If that doesn't work, I'd try live. Once in a while I get one baby on a feeding strike that starts back eating after being fed a live pink. If deli'd and boiled as well as live don't work, I would try to find someone who breeds snakes and see if they will try it in one of their racks, to see if it is environmental.
