My first BP

No tape. That could be potentially harmful to him. If you've got one, maybe tack it down with a hot glue gun.

I'd really prefer not to use a hot glue gun. I don't want to damage the terrarium in any way since I plan to expand it as he grows. The tape would be on the other side of the cardboard to keep it from being pushed down, not actually in his habitat. But I won't use tape if it's not recommended. Like I said, it's in there pretty tight right now, so I think it'll be okay as long as I monitor it.

I personally would remove the cardboard and make use of the whole enclosure and add more hides so he won't become stressed or find some type of plexiglass/PVC divider. I think that the moisture/humidity will cause the cardboard weaken and break down or possibly mold/mildew. It will also absorb smells. Whichever method you choose is your choice, just thought I would give a personal opinion. Other than that, lookin nice ;p

Glue will not harm the tank in less you get it on the top plastic other then that it will pull right off. But id say just add a few more hides and other cover and make it a full tank.

He's awesome! I love his pattern! It looks like you have a pretty good set up going!

i have a 3 month in a 20 gallon and i have no problems, he eats, sheds and handles like a happy guy so no worries man. during day you will never see him and at night he examine every inch of that big tank :D

Acting on the advice generously offered here (thank you!), I decided to get rid of that cardboard and expand the terrarium. It worked out wonderfully!

Cinna is very curious about the extra space and all those new toys in there. He's still a bit shy, though; he's only brave enough to explore for ten minutes before he's retreating to his hide, but he pops right back out again not much later. He had his first meal today. He is a beautiful eater - no trouble at all! I'm very proud of him.

Lookin good! If he's comfortable enough to eat then he's just fine ;p

Hey, everyone. It's day four and everything has been running smoothly. I handle Cinna for 10-15 minutes each day to get him used to my touch. The temps are just fine in his terrarium and I've boosted the humidity levels by adding a light misting system. I spent heaven knows how long trying to rig it up to this hollow dragon statue I picked up at the pet store so the mist would spill from its mouth, but that's been a nightmare so far. At least my boyfriend is helping me with it.

I have a question. So far, Cinna has eaten one fuzzy. I want to feed him again tomorrow, but is it too soon? I read that juvenile pythons get two meals a week. But he hasn't excreted yet. Should I wait until he does before I try feeding him again?

Most will say feed an item that is as round as the widest part of your bps body every 5-7 days, this is the general rule I follow. BPs do not always void in between meals or on a weekly basis, some may go up to three feeds before they do their business. Some may also hold until they shed. I woke up this morning and my albino had a full shed and that wasn't the only surprise he left me ;p
