In Reply to: ATB question posted by pontech on March 04, 2003 at 13:29:21:
Your first 2 sentences confused me a bit - but If I catch what's you're saying correctly you got the ATB yesterday in shipment...
71-82 degrees is a bit cool... I run my tank at 78-86 with around 90 degree basking spot... I wouldn't let the temps drop below 75 unless cycling/winter... (of course these are my personal recommendations/preferences) However, the stress may have had a lot to do with it - I would let a new snake settle in at least 3-5 days before attempting to feed. Your humidity is fine. I'd give the snake at least a few more days and then attempt another feeding... Make sure the pinky is not more than 1-2 days old and small as you can get them for a baby atb... Also, don't handle him and keep cage maintenance to a minimum while he is settling in... There is a wonderful caresheet I highly recommend at the link below, follow this to a tee and you should be fine... (also check out corallus.com)
:Just got ATB baby yesterday when I woke up this morning, found regurgitated pinky. His enclosure was set up about a month ago with 90% humidity level that dies out to about 65% overnight, temps are 82% hot side 71% cool side, what could cause the regurg problem, could it be the stress of the shipping and new environment. Also how long should I wait before attempting to feed after regurg? Any advice appreciated
