First normal BP - Totti

Hi all. Got my first bp today after considering and researching on it for a week. Had 3 wild asian ones a few years back, very aggressive and not a pleasant type to keep. Got this fella at noon and handled it twice, a curious little fella, and fed without problem just now. Pics are blurry, altho its tame but I haven't held a snake in years.

Got most of my info from other posts here while researching. This site sure helps a lot. Idk if its a he or she but I'll just call it Totti.

Thanks!

Congrats and welcome to the site! This site is definitely a good place to come for info!

Yup. Got most info from here while considering it; feeding, housing, living condition, shedding, handling etc...

Btw, I'm keeping it in a black plastic housing with semi-clear top, is it advisable to cover the top with dark cloth most of the time n after feeding?

Me personally I don't like dark tubs that are always closed up,I think it's cruel and unfair. So don't See why anyone would want there animal to live in darkness...even though they are in hide 90% of the time..I feed my snakes right in there enclosure and I have them in tanks.. So ,no, covering the top dark is not necessary. They don't kill in there hide,just while he is eating leave him be,don't try petting him or picking him up,just leave him be. Try not to over analyze every situation. Just keep it warm and humid and comfortable and hive him a place to hide and you will be fine. As complicated as people make it sound around here at times when it comes to husbandry,I have my first 2 snakes for three months now and I have evrything running basically perfect. Took a while of messing with diff watt bulbs,placing the heat domes etc...but once u find that spot,stick with it

Hiiii

First shed. Took bout 1.5hrs, some time after eating. The newspaper looks funny. One girl looks amused, while the other feels Totti's head is too heavy for her shoulder :D

In one of the pic above it looks like she has a stuck eye cap. Beautiful little one tho. Love the pattern. Could just be her going into shed tho.
