My baby Boa..advice??

[Phobiaz]

So I have my baby red tail now, at first I set him up in a nice 75 gallon tank, with two UTH on the bottom regulated by a rheostat and kept them on medium/low (for belly heat) I also have 2 water dishes in each side to help with humidity as well as a huge climbing branch and Im using eco-earth as substrate. I have 2 lamps I sit on top, one side is a 100watt, the other is a 75, , I do this because the tank is so big I want to maintain the heat. Well I got him the 14th, he had ate 2 fuzzies the 13th. I took him out and put him in a little container and offered a pre killed fuzzy to him, he took NO interest. I then tried a live fuzzy- NO interest. I have moved him to a small 7 gallon tank with the heat lamp on top ( no UTH I fear the 7 gallon is too small for it) I have his water dish in there with a hide. I called the guy and asked him why it wouldn't be eating, he told me the size of the 75 gallon could be stressing him out and to move him into a smaller tank. The 7 gallon is almost perfect size because he's so small. I'd say he's about a month old ? He looks healthy, I can post pictures of him as well as the setup, he's a very interesting shade of grey/black. It almost looks like his tail could go into a red phase... What should I keep him in and is it normal for him not to feed?

I went ahead and took the pictures...here they are

The temps in the huge tank, are not correct, I had actually JUST turned the lights on to take the pic. the uth's are off, and Im not usin the big one right now. I'm just using the little one. I put him in there to take a picture of him...

I don't cover the screen top because...the humidity actually stays at about 65% with the water and moist eco-earth

.. I think you made the right move putting the boa in a smaller enclosure. It's not unusual for a new boa to be reluctant to eat until they settle in. Really small (and young) boas may not want to eat as much as a comparable-sized kingsnake, just as one example.
.
You should get a thermometer, like a non-contact infra-red gadget, to find out just what temps you're supplying. Otherwise, if it was my snake and it looked to be overall healthy and normal I wouldn't sweat it until it had not eaten in about three weeks.
.
Good luck.

when i got my bci i had him in the 4x4x2 cage that he is in now and it stressed him out alot. my other baby bci i had was in there too and she would bite and his alot. neither of them ate when in that cage. i switched em to a 20 gal setup and everything cleared up in about a week. i would leave it in the smaller cage and give it a good week to 10 days before handling it or trying to feed it again.
