    im kind of concerned with my new BP Flexx. He ate for the first time 2 days ago and it appears he hasnt moved from his hide on the cool side yet. Ive gotten up in the middle of the night to check on him both nights. I dont want to bring him out at all, i want to let him come out on his own. What should i do? will this change?

    This is completely normal. It takes some time for their bodies to digest prey and the general rule of thumb is to leave them alone for at least 48 hours after they have eaten. This generalization, of course, is subject to the husbandry requirements of your bp. A.K.A if you need to clean the cage, by all means move him/her. Just make sure that you support the prey in their belly and you're good to go. After 48-72 hours your little guy should begin to go about his cage movement just like before he ate.

    so is that the way to pick them up if you have to after eating? because i feed my snake in a seperate enclosure and when i pick him up to put him back i always grab on either side of the rat bulge because i don't want to disturb that section (like if someone pushes on your belly if you are really full) but should i support that part instead of avoiding it?
