    Something to keep in mind, that might hopefully alleviate some of the worry and new-owner-nervousness... Is that we just have a very general, basic understanding of their needs. We do our best to meet their needs as best as we understand them, but they are truly alien to us. The longer we keep them and watch them, the more often you'll see them behaving in ways we just don't understand. We THINK we understand thermoregulation and why they must need it....but no matter what we think we understand, sometimes they'll still not do what WE think they should be doing. Just keep in mind that so long as you provide the best options you know to offer your snake....all you have to do after that is sit back and enjoy the choices your snake makes. You don't have to make those choices for him.

    (That came out a little more wordy and twisty than I wanted it to....I may need another hit of caffeine. :rolleyes: But hopefully it makes sense.)

    It does JLC. :) You guys have helped me through all of her firsts so far. LOL. I trust you all to help me through quite a few more firsts and scares. :D
