Post Molt Concern(s)

[Orion]

My Rose T molted for the first time I had him a bit over a week ago, and it seemed to go fine. However, I'm worried about two things: refusal to eat, and cold temperature.
I read to wait until his fangs turned black to feed him, which I did. However, he's been refusing to eat for several days now. His abdomen is getting quite small, so I am very worried. He didn't eat a couple weeks before his molt.
The other thing is, it is starting to get cold up in the NW U.S., and my heating pad I have for his tank isn't as great as I thought. I think it only gets up to about 70 degrees F. He is constantly huddled up against the heating pad on the side of his tank.
He is still a juvenile, and I haven't been able to sex him yet. Hoping for a female, but I call him a he so I don't get my hopes up.
Thanks!

It might even be a week or two before it eats again. All you can do is make sure it has water.

As for heating, I don't use heating pads, I use a space heater to heat up the room.

I agree with Chubbs, space heaters is the best way to go, but please make sure there is water dish with water available for him so he doesn't dry up. Roseas also have the tendency to fast. just keep offering it food, and it will eat when it is good and ready.
