The toilet paper rolls aren't very good hides, i'd change to something more solid that has only one entry point. Your enclosure may be too big and too open, which could be why it is not eating. I would advise you to put it into a much smaller enclosure, a small tub (click clack) or something similar. Then leave the snake alone for a week and try feeding again.

| | Roadkill Subscriber | Join Date: Aug-05 Location: Western Sydney Age/Gender: 25 | | | Covering the cage may help a little, as may some better hides, but by far your best bet would be to move the python into a much, much smaller enclosure. I have several bredli hatchies at the moment and they are kept in tubs approx. 28cm x 15cm x 9cm (see pic below to give you an indication of size). I would recommend you keep your Diamond in a similar sized cage until it has had at least 10 feeds in a row, then you may be able to move it back to the larger enclosure and hopefully it will continue feeding.

Lots of people have kept and bred Diamonds without UV for many years and have had no problems whatsoever. Not allowing Diamonds to brumate each Winter and maintaining Diamonds at constant high temps appear to be the main causes of DPS. However, offering UV is most likely beneficial so i wouldn't recommend against it, but it is not necessary and at this stage getting your Diamond to eat regularly is far more important than offering it UV.

I'm using a similar setup at the moment bit i'm using a 6m heat cord now as the 4m heat cords struggled to keep the temps up during cold nights.
