Separating from my boyfriend and taking my BP with me

[Ashley-Rose]

First off, I would like to apologize if some of my posts are getting annoying. I know I am posting a lot on here but I have a lot of questions since I am still relativity new to owning a BP and you guys have been so helpful.

Now, my boyfriend and I are separating for a month (starting Monday) and I am taking my BP with me. I will be staying at my Aunt and Uncle's house but they don't want him at the house so he will have to stay at our office. I work 9-5 every day so he will not be alone too long but on weekends I will have to come check on him.

What my question is, is do the same rules apply for this as for when you first get a snake? Like no feeding and handling for a couple weeks to let him settle. The office is not so busy but it is a new place than what he has gotten used to so it will be a different environment for him. Is there any way to make the move less stressful for him?

I know some of you are probably going to say just leave him with the boyfriend since it will only be a month. I am not doing that because he at one time had a BP and killed it within a couple months of having it... So I am not trusting him with mine for a month

Any advice would help! Thank you.

Black out the enclosure and do the best to keep conditions similar.

No question is off the table and the forum exists to post - no need to apologize.

For the most part, as long as he's in the same enclosure as when he left, he shouldn't have problems being held or fed within the week, though it never hurts to wait.

Just make sure you have a reliable thermostat and a large water bowl and he should be fine, also, I would keep his enclosure locked and be 100% sure it's escape proof, would suck to lose him in the office.

So should I wait a week then to feed him just to be sure he is okay? I wouldn't want to stress him more than he probably will be.

I will have to run this weekend and get some clips for the screen. I Defiantly don't want him escaping. I am looking forward to having him sitting at my desk at work though!
