In Reply to: Re: black milk feeding and substrate...HELP PLEASE posted by chrish on March 20, 2003 at 09:34:41:
I'm afraid I do agree with the fact that he "misses his newspaper". I have made sure that conditions are correct in his cage, even having the breeder I obtained him from evaluate the situation. I've got him at room temp (around 70 degrees) and back on newspaper. I really do think that he had become accustomed to his daily routine. As soon as I put him back on his paper he shot straight back under it in the hiding place in the corner that he had always used before. I haven't tried him on food yet. I would like him to settle in for a few days first. Is supplemental heat necessary? Before when he was on paper and for the first week on aspen I had an undertank heater on him. The breeder told me to take it off him and keep him at room temp. Whenever I pick him up now he seems so cold. He digested the last 3 pinks I gave him, but it took him a few more days than it did with heat. Thanks for you input,

:I'm afraid I can't agree with the idea that a Black Milk "misses his newspaper". Clearly something is not correct about the setup.
:Check the temperatures at the substrate level first then make sure the snake has adequate hide spots. Even though they will burrow into aspen, mine still prefer to use a hide box on top of the aspen.
:Get the conditions corrected, give the snake a day or so to settle in, and you will see it start eating like a Black Milk.
