    Ijust got my BP 3 days ago and was getting a bit worried about feeding him,with all the horror stories of them not eating and all and not knowing what the hell i was really doing didn't make for a good combo. I found this site and read posts and replies for hours!!!!! I must thank everyone in here for such a great web site and having ALL the info i could ever need.
    My very first attempt at feeding was a success!!!! :D
    took him about 2 min. to hit it. Thanks again to everyone at this site for helping this "newbie" figure it out.

    Cool! You should be glad that after only 3 days of settling in he took it. Most people try to let the snake settle in for a week, then try feeding it. Then if thats successful, handling can begin for short periods of time a few days after the feed. I just got my first bp today. I don't know how I'm gonna resist the temptation for a week. :shock:

    Anyway, congrats on the successful feed. Any questions you have, of course don't hesitate to ask. :) And of course, Welcome to the site! This place is the best. :D

    Congrats on your success! Please remember not to handle him for two days after feeding, and preferably more than that since he didn't have a full week to acclimate. :)
