Uh oh?

no i have a thermostat, but it doesnt read temps just has a dial that goes from cooler to hotter. HOWEVER...i finally got my first BP!!! WOO! i'm VERY excited however i'm also extremely nervous that I'm going to mess something up and he'll end up dead or worse. I have him in a plastic tub with a hide. He's about two feet long and his hide is one of the plant holders that when you water a plant the water doesnt go everywhere. He's currently exploring his new home and hasn't completely gone inside the hide yet, that's ok right? He seems like a pretty bold snake, very chill.

I see, no temperature gauge? This is odd, why not? What kind is it?

Exploring is a sign of stress until they settle in. Leave him be for a week.

yea I think watchin him explore was stressing me out :P so I left and walked my dogs I came back and now hes hiding in his hide so i feel a lot better

Sounds very small for two years old... :confused:

I like Leah's idea about the heat packs as long as you insulate them as someone said. Its just a day or so, so I wouldn't worry too much as long as you keep him at least somewhat warm he should be fine. Snakes go through a lot worse extremes during shipping without any ill effects. Now if we were talking an extended period, that is another story.
