No you shouldn't put a uth on it unless it's regulated by a thermostat.

What about feeding and handling. Should I wait a certain amount if time on feeding and handling?

We handle ours from day 1. I've seen a lot of people say to wait weeks but we haven't had any issues with feedings, striking, etc... We always offer on feeding day. If the new animal has been with us for a week or a day, if it's feeding day they get the same option the rest do. So far all the ones we have received on Thursday have eaten on Friday. Only 4 to date have refused a meal after shipping, but with in the next couple feedings.

Oh lovely! Good for you!

So I'm on my way home from work and I'm so excited to see how the new big guy (we ended up naming him Conan. Lol) is doing! I tried to pick him up last night and he wasn't having it. He kept hissing at me. So well see what happens. I think I might try to feed him too.

Poor Conan!! I came home to a cold snake! The heat bulb must of went out while I was at work and his tank was 70 degrees! I am such a bad dad![emoji20] he would probably would rather be at the place I got him from. At least he had a light bulb. So I'm not going to feed him. Too cold I think. If I can get the temp up I might try later tonight.

It is the power strip. His UTH isn't even on!!! This sucks!

Did you get a thermostat to control the uth?

Yeah I worked about 2 hours south today. The Wally Word down there had one!

I got his tank up to temp and he started moving around so I decided to go ahead and see if he would eat. I barely got the rat in his tank and he was coiled up around it. I think those people were starving him. Gotta get him on a schedule!!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...1a9324733a.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...8a9cdc21e4.jpg
