After a sleepless night and almost having an anxiety attack over the seven hour delivery delay, my new baby is finally home. He was pretty stressed. I was planning on weighing him real quick before I put him in the enclosure to settle. I stroked him a little bit, but when I went to pick him up he struck me. He was curled up in a small round container, so he probably thought I was going for his head. Plus I was anxious and this is my first snake. I've held snakes before, but I was all excited and jittery. Sure it was my fault. So I just dipped him into the tank. He explored for a little bit, drank water twice, and now he has settled into his hidey hole. He seems like a quirky little guy. First thing he did was knock over the digital thermometer, he fell off the stump. And if you're looking at him he'll turn his head in the opposite direction and stare at the back wall like he's ignoring you lol.

I thought I saw a piece of shed flaking off on his side, but I can't see it anymore or any other signs of shedding. Though he did rub along the log some like he was scratching his self. I've been having problems keeping the humidity up. I'm considering putting ecoearth on the opposite side of the tank where he's hiding, but I don't want to stress him anymore.
