Re: Dartanian
Hi Jeri,
Here's the link to the glass tank set up thread to help you get everything set up for him.
click here
Is that one of those strip thermometers across the back? - if it is you can go ahead and throw it away and still have as good a guess at the temps in the tank. I tried using those once - on the plus side they didn't cost me much.

Re: Dartanian
HI Jeri,
No, not really.
They can both be stress indicators depending on circumstances and the snakes involved. I wouldn't try and make any decisions on your new friends temperament till he's had time to settle in and get used to all the new things around him.
As always how well they eat id regarded as a good indication if they are happy in their situations. I'd still give him the standard week of no handling to settle in before trying to feed him though.

Re: Dartanian
He's wandering because he's getting used to a new home - no handling for at least a week and preferably not until he eats for you (don't try to feed for a week).
He needs a second hide in there too.
Too much wandering can be an indication of stress. I just adopted an adult female and she's been in her hide after exploring for about 1/2 an hour and rarely ventures out (she must at night, I never see her out, actually).
A snake you rarely see is a content snake, a snake training for the snake olympics is not.
He's a very pretty boy!
