Is there a button 2 press 2 get thread updates without posting?

Another question I have is how often do they go 2 the bathroom?

I think you just need to refresh the page. If we're both typing at the same time it can also be a bit off.
If you are browsing the site you can hit the User CP button near the top left and it will give you updated posts in your threads.

As for the bathroom question, it varies. Sometimes it's every couple of weeks or weekly. With others it's monthly. They can go quite a while sometimes.

Read the last part of the post you replied to.

Oh wow that long? Do u recomend a different substrate?

Aspen is fine. I use newspaper, but only because it's easier to keep enclosures clean when you have a bunch of snakes.
Ball pythons are nothing, blood pythons many time go several months in between potty breaks;)

Since I just got em this week and he just ate 2day, how long do u suggest I wait B 4 I can handle him?

48 hours or so is the rule that most people follow. You also want to try to give him time to get acclimated to his new home before handling too much. Since he ate for you already I'd say you're off to a great start.:gj:

Your snake in your picture is beautiful what is it? I'm new 2 snakes but falling fast in love with them. They r way cooler than I had previously thought
